Awaiting product image
1,3-Dimethylbutylamine Hydrochloride (DMBA, also marketed in supplements as “AMP Citrate”) is an aliphatic amine salt that Sarchem Labs can supply as a bulk research/synthesis-grade chemical. Its structural similarity to other amine-based stimulant compounds has made it a subject of dietary-supplement regulatory scrutiny, and it should not be treated as a routine specialty building block without compliance review.

Product Description

What is 1,3-Dimethylbutylamine?

1,3-Dimethylbutylamine is a branched-chain aliphatic amine, structurally related to other amine-based stimulant compounds that have drawn regulatory attention in the dietary-supplement industry (following the DMAA controversy). As the hydrochloride salt, it’s more stable and water-soluble than the free base.

Uses of 1,3-Dimethylbutylamine HCl

Beyond its history as a sports-nutrition/pre-workout ingredient (a use now under significant FDA scrutiny — see below), this compound has limited documented legitimate use as a general amine building block in organic synthesis.

Safety Information

🚨 REGULATORY FLAG, not just a safety flag: the FDA issued warning letters in 2019 to multiple supplement companies, stating DMBA does not meet the legal definition of a dietary ingredient and that products containing it are considered adulterated under the FD&C Act. If this SKU is being marketed to or purchased by dietary-supplement manufacturers, please ensure your compliance team is aware of this FDA position before publishing this page.

*No independent hazard/GHS data could be verified for this compound given the absence of a Sigma or reliable secondary-source SDS listing — do not publish safety information you cannot independently confirm; request your own SDS documentation for this SKU.*

FAQs: 1,3-Dimethylbutylamine hydrochloride (4-Methyl-2-pentanamine hydrochloride)

Historically marketed in the sports-nutrition industry as "AMP Citrate," a use the FDA has stated does not meet the legal definition of a dietary ingredient; it otherwise has limited documented use as a general synthesis building block.

As a bulk research/industrial chemical, that's a question for your compliance team; as a dietary-supplement ingredient specifically, the FDA has stated products containing it are considered adulterated — this is worth surfacing to any customers in the supplement industry.
