Dioctylamine Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

colourless to light yellow liquid

Uses

Di-n-octylamine can be used as intermediate for the preparation of antistatic agent, softener, surfactant and it is also used as metal extraction agent and amine solvent. In addition, it can be used to get octanal.

Uses

Dioctylamine can be used as a reactant in the synthesis of:

• Ionic liquids based on the tetra-alkyl-dimethylguanidinium cation
• N-(2,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)perylene-3,4-dicarboximide based perylene photosensitizers.

It can be also employed as a surfactant in the shape-controlled synthesis of some nanoparticles.

Definition

ChEBI: Dioctylamine is a secondary amine in which the two alkyl substituents are specified as octyl.
