DI-N-HEXYLAMINE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

colourless liquid

Uses

Dihexylamine is used in organic syntheses.

Uses

Di-n-hexylamine is used in organic synthesis and involved in the preparation of succinic acid.

General Description

Clear colorless liquid.

Air & Water Reactions

DI-N-HEXYLAMINE may be sensitive to prolonged exposure to air. Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

DI-N-HEXYLAMINE neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen may be generated in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.

Health Hazard

ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: DI-N-HEXYLAMINE is readily absorbed through the skin.

Fire Hazard

DI-N-HEXYLAMINE is combustible.

Safety Profile

poison by ingestion, skin contact, and intravenous routes. A skin exposed to heat or flame; can react with oxidizing materials. To fight fire, use CO2, dry chemical. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx. See also AMINES.
