Description

1-Octanamine, 4-Methylbenzenesulfonate (1:1) is an organic salt formed from octylamine and p-toluenesulfonic acid, offering a stable, non-volatile form of the amine for controlled chemical synthesis. This compound is valued for its role as a phase-transfer catalyst and an intermediate in the production of specialty chemicals, where precise reactivity and handling are critical. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and polymer industries for applications requiring a lipophilic amine source or an internal acid scavenger.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and drug candidates requiring amine functionalization.
• Phase-Transfer Catalyst (PTC): Facilitates reactions between reagents in immiscible phases, particularly in alkylation and esterification processes.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a key building block in the manufacture of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Polymer Additive & Modifier: Acts as a curing agent, catalyst, or internal stabilizer in epoxy resins and specialty polymer formulations.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Precursor: Used in the formulation of industrial lubricants and metal treatment fluids.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Employed in laboratories and pilot plants for amination and salt formation reactions.

Quality Control

Our 1-Octanamine, 4-Methylbenzenesulfonate (1:1) is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay by titration and impurity profile analysis by HPLC, to ensure it meets the required specifications for industrial and research use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and physical characteristics is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product quality and performance. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
