SEC-BUTYLAMINE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

Colorless liquid with ammonia smell, mp-72℃, bp63℃, n²⁰_D 1.3928, relative density 0.724, fp-19℃, and water, alcohol mix.

Uses

Sec-butylamine, also known as butylamine, is mainly used as an intermediate for the synthesis of drugs, dyes and pesticides such as denadine herbicides.

Definition

ChEBI: Sec-butylamine is a primary aliphatic amine that is butane in which one hydrogen at position 2 is replaced by an amino group. A fumigant fungicide with a high potential for bioaccumulation, it is not approved for fungicidal use in the European Union. It has a role as an antifungal agrochemical. It is a primary aliphatic amine and an aliphatic nitrogen antifungal agent.

Synthesis

Sec-butylamine is prepared by reacting methyl ethyl ketone with ammonia Catalyzed by Raney nickel.
