TRIDODECYLAMINE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Clear slightly yellow liquid. Soluble in organic solvents; insoluble in water. Combustible.

Uses

Chemical intermediate, metal complexes.

Uses

TRIDODECYLAMINE (cas# 102-87-4) is a tertiary fatty amine which has been used in the preparation of an embedded telemetry system for potentiometric sensors, and in the preparation of gemini cationic surfactant-based ionic liquids.

Uses

Tridodecylamine(TDA) can be used in the following applications:

• Extraction of picolinic acid, citric acid, silver, mercury, selenium, zinc, cobalt, iron and succinic acid from aqueous solutions by using various organic solvents as diluents.
• Recovery of Remazol Red 3BS (R3BS) dye from wastewater via emulsion liquid membrane (ELM) process by using TDA as the carrier agent.
• Synthesis of gemini surfactant-based ionic liquids by reacting with dibromo alkanes.

Definition

ChEBI: Tridodecylamine is a tertiary amine consisting of three dodecyl groups attached to a central nitrogen. It has a role as a mouse metabolite, a rat metabolite and an ionophore.
