Description

tert-Octylamine CAS NO 107-45-9 is a versatile branched-chain aliphatic primary amine, valued for its strong basicity and utility as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Its unique sterically hindered structure makes it a valuable building block for creating specialty chemicals and functional materials. This product is essential for manufacturers in the agrochemical, pharmaceutical, and polymer industries seeking to develop corrosion inhibitors, surfactants, and rubber processing chemicals.

Application

• Intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, such as herbicides and plant growth regulators.
• Key building block for pharmaceutical intermediates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Production of corrosion inhibitors and additives for fuel and lubricant formulations.
• Manufacture of quaternary ammonium compounds used as surfactants and biocides.
• Catalyst and chain transfer agent in polymerization processes for synthetic rubber and plastics.
• Precursor for vulcanization accelerators in the rubber industry.
• Used in the production of dyes and pigments.

Quality Control

Our tert-Octylamine is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC and titration methods, to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific batch results are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its properties as a strong base/organic solvent, high volatility, and tendency to be easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize evaporation and prevent moisture absorption.
