Abstract: p-Menthane-1,8-diamine, which has active chemical property, is an important intensive-processing product of turpentine and it is widely used in the synthesis of polymer. In this paper, its physicochemical properties were discussed. Its several synthesis methods were summarized, such as cyanide hydrolysis, cyanide reduction and azide reduction. However, these methods exist some defects. HCN and H₂SO₄ used in the method of cyanide hydrolysis have high toxcity and high corrosivity. It would be easy to seriously pollute environment. Potassium borohydride and sodium borohydride used in the method of cyanide reduction, which belong to explosive compounds, have a certain dangerous nature. The products are difficult to separate for the method of azide reduction. Therefore, the synthesis technology of p-menthane-1,8-diamine needs a further optimization. At the same time, its applications were discussed, such as using for a curing agent of epoxy resin, a crosslinking agent, a capture agent of carbon dioxide and a synthesis ingredient. Finally, the research prospect of p-menthane-1,8-diamine on catalyst and bioactivity was reviewed.
