Dodecylamine Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

white solid

Chemical Properties

Dodecylamine is a solid.

Uses

Dodecylamine was used in preparation of novel surfactant copper(II) complexes.
Intercalation of dodecylamine into the layer space of kaolinite was investigated. Dodecylamine was investigated as inhibitor of mild steel hydrochloric acid corrosion.

Uses

Dodecylamine was used in preparation of novel surfactant copper(II) complexes. It is used as a catalyst and template agent in the sol-gel process for the fabrication of monodispersed mesoporous bioactive glass sub-micron spheres.

Uses

Dodecylamine (DDA) can be used:

• As a modifier in the preparation of dodecylamine incorporated sodium montmorillonite. It is used as an adsorbent for hexavalent chromium.
• In the synthesis of DDA-poly(aspartic acid) as a biodegradable water-soluble polymeric material.
• As an organic surfactant in the synthesis of Sn(IV)-containing layered double hydroxide (LDHs), which can be further used as ion exchangers, absorbents, ion conductors, and catalysts.
• As a complexing, reducing and capping agent in the synthesis of pentagonal silver nanowires.

Definition

ChEBI: Dodecylamine is a primary aliphatic amine.

General Description

A yellow liquid with an ammonia-like odor. Insoluble in water and less dense than water. Hence floats on water. Contact may irritate skin, eyes and mucous membranes. May be toxic by ingestion, inhalation or skin absorption. Used to make other chemicals.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

DODECANAMINE 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

TOXIC; inhalation, ingestion or skin contact with material may cause severe injury or death. Contact with molten substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. Avoid any skin contact. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution.

Fire Hazard

Combustible material: may burn but does not ignite readily. When heated, vapors may form explosive mixtures with air: indoors, outdoors and sewers explosion hazards. Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may pollute waterways. Substance may be transported in a molten form.

Safety Profile

Poison by intraperitoneal route. Moderately toxic by ingestion. A severe skin and eye irritant. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx. See also AMINES.
