3,5-Dimethylpyrazole (DMP)
High-Purity Pyrazole Derivative — Isocyanate Blocking Agent, Nitrification Inhibitor & Pharmaceutical Intermediate
CAS: 67-51-6 EC: 200-657-5 Assay: ≥ 99.5%
3,5-Dimethylpyrazole (DMP, 3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole, CAS 67-51-6) is a white crystalline pyrazole derivative and a versatile nitrogen-heterocyclic building block. Its symmetrical dimethyl-substituted pyrazole ring makes it a high-performance blocking agent for isocyanates in single-component (1K) polyurethane coatings, a nitrification inhibitor for enhanced-efficiency fertilizers, and a key intermediate in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and coordination-ligand synthesis. Royalchem Spain supplies it at ≥ 99.5% purity as a white crystalline solid, delivered from our Valladolid distribution hub by fiber drum with COA and SDS for every batch.

• Melting Point: ≈ 105–108 °C
• Boiling Point: ≈ 218 °C
Polyurethane Blocking Agent
A high-performance blocking agent for isocyanates in single-component (1K) polyurethane systems. Its relatively low deblocking temperature gives long pot life and excellent film properties in automotive clear coats, industrial maintenance coatings, powder coatings, adhesives, and sealants.
Nitrification Inhibitor (Agriculture)
A building block for nitrification inhibitors in enhanced-efficiency fertilizers. DMP-type inhibitors can improve nitrogen-use efficiency, prolong ammonium (NH₄⁺) availability, and reduce nitrate (NO₃⁻) leaching and nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions, supporting EU sustainability goals.
Pharmaceutical & Synthesis Intermediate
A versatile two-nitrogen building block for active pharmaceutical ingredients, agrochemicals, and heterocyclic chemistry, and a classic bidentate ligand (pyrazole donor) in coordination and organometallic synthesis.
