Description

2-Aminoheptane CAS NO 44652-67-7 is a primary aliphatic amine with a seven-carbon chain, serving as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis. Its value lies in its bifunctional nature, providing both a reactive amino group and a lipophilic hydrocarbon tail, which is critical for modifying molecular properties. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical sectors developing new active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for compounds requiring lipophilic amine functionalities.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators where its structure contributes to bioavailability and efficacy.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Formulation: Acts as a component in formulations designed to protect metal surfaces in industrial processes.
• Polymer Modification: Serves as a monomer or chain modifier in the production of polyamides, epoxy curing agents, and other specialty polymers.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier Production: Intermediate for synthesizing cationic surfactants used in various industrial and cleaning applications.
• Chemical Research & Development: A valuable reagent in organic chemistry labs for constructing complex molecules and studying reaction mechanisms.

Quality Control

Our 2-Aminoheptane is produced under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, identity confirmation, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for synthetic applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical properties, and test results is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and highly volatile nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after use to minimize exposure to moisture and prevent evaporation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
