2-Ethylhexylamine Usage And Synthesis

Description

2-Ethylhexylamine is used as an intermediate to manufacture agricultural chemicals, rubber chemicals, pharmaceuticals, surfactants, polymerization auxiliaries, plastic additives, dyes, insecticides, flotation agents, corrosion inhibitors, paint additives, detergents, fuel additives, and lubricant additives1. Novel 2-Ethylhexylamine salt anionic monoazo dyes are very useful for dyeing solvents, printing inks or polymeric film-forming materials2.

Chemical Properties

colourless liquid

Chemical Properties

2-Ethylhexylamine is a corrosive liquid.

Uses

2-Ethylhexylamine is used in organic syntheses.

Uses

2-Ethylhexylamine is used to make pharmaceuticals and other chemicals. It is used as beam material and surface active agent. It also involves in synthesis of aliphatic amines.

Uses

Synthesis of detergents, rubber chemicals, oil additives, and insecticides.

General Description

A water-white liquid with a fishlike odor. Less dense than water. Flash point 140°F. Extremely irritating to skin and eyes. Vapors heavier than air. Used to make pharmaceuticals and other chemicals.

Air & Water Reactions

Flammable. Soluble in water. Sensitive to prolonged exposure to air.

Reactivity Profile

2-Ethylhexylamine reacts with oxidizing materials . 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.

Hazard

Moderate fire risk. Toxic by ingestion and inhalation.

Health Hazard

INHALATION: High concentration of vapor will produce irritation of the respiratory tract and the lungs. Prolonged exposure may cause systemic effects. EYES: Contact with liquid may result in severe eye irritation. Exposure to concentrated vapor may result in corneal edema. SKIN: Contact with liquid may result in severe skin irritation, burns and possible skin absorption. INGESTION: May cause systemic poisoning.

Flammability and Explosibility

Flammable

Safety Profile

Poison by intraperitoneal route. Moderately toxic by ingestion, inhalation, and skin contact. Corrosive. A severe skin and eye irritant.Flammable liquid when exposed to heat or flame; can react with oxidizing materials. To fight fire, use alcohol foam, CO2, dry chemical. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx. See also AMINES.
