1,3-Diaminopropane

1,3-Diaminopropane, also known as 1,3-propanediamine or tn, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as monoalkylamines. These are organic compounds containing an primary aliphatic amine group. 1,3-Diaminopropane is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). 1,3-Diaminopropane exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Outside of the human body, 1,3-Diaminopropane has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as cassava, shiitakes, oyster mushrooms, muscadine grapes, and cinnamons. This could make 1,3-diaminopropane a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. An alkane-alpha,omega-diamine comprising a propane skeleton with amino substituents at positions 1 and 3. 1,3-Diaminopropane is expected to be in Cannabis as all living plants are known to produce and metabolize it.
