Description

n-tert-Butylbutylamine (CAS NO 16486-74-1) is a versatile aliphatic amine characterized by its sterically hindered tertiary butyl group, which imparts unique reactivity and stability. This compound serves as a crucial intermediate and building block in advanced organic synthesis, particularly valued for its strong basicity and solubility in organic media. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and industrial manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer sectors for applications requiring selective alkylation or as a ligand precursor.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring sterically hindered amine functionalities.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Acts as a key building block for herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Catalyst & Ligand Preparation: Employed in the development of organometallic catalysts and complexing agents for chemical transformations.
• Polymer Modification: Serves as a monomer or curing agent in the production of specialty polyamides, epoxy resins, and polyurethanes.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Formulation: Incorporated into formulations for metalworking fluids and industrial coatings.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Utilized as a strong, non-nucleophilic base in various condensation and deprotonation reactions.

Quality Control

Our n-tert-Butylbutylamine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its basic nature and organic solvent properties, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and volatilization.
