N-Methylpentylamine can be used as an organic structure-directing agent in the preparation of microporous silicoaluminophosphate (SAPO) molecular sieves.
It can also be used as a reactant to synthesize:
- ′-tert-butyl-N-methyl-N-pentylsulfamide by reacting with triethylammonium N-tert-butylsulfamate in the presence of triphenylphosphine oxide and trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride.
- 1-methyl-3-(methylpentylamino)-4-(phenylseleno) 1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione (aminoarylselenated maleimide) by Cu-catalyzed four-component coupling reaction with methyl maleimide, Se powder and iodobenzene.
