Product Overview

Dibutylamine is a high-purity secondary amine widely used in laboratory settings for its strong basic properties and excellent solubility in organic solvents. This AR-grade reagent is meticulously purified to ensure minimal impurities, making it ideal for precise analytical applications and organic synthesis. Its clear, colorless liquid form allows for easy handling and accurate volumetric measurements. The compound exhibits a characteristic amine odor and is highly reactive with acids, forming stable salts. Its low volatility and high boiling point (224-226°C) contribute to consistent performance in extended reactions. Dibutylamine serves as an effective solvent for various organic compounds and functions as a catalyst in polymerization processes. The reagent’s hygroscopic nature requires proper storage to maintain its purity. Its molecular structure (C8H19N) provides balanced lipophilicity and nucleophilicity, making it versatile for diverse chemical transformations. The product comes in a secure, leak-proof container to prevent contamination and ensure safe handling in laboratory environments.

FAQs

1. What is the typical shelf life of dibutylamine when stored properly?

When stored in a tightly sealed container away from moisture and heat, dibutylamine maintains its specified purity for 24 months from the date of manufacture.

2. Can this dibutylamine be used directly in HPLC applications?

While dibutylamine is highly pure, additional filtration through a 0.22μm membrane is recommended before HPLC use to remove any potential particulate matter.

3. What materials should be avoided when handling dibutylamine?

Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents, acids, and copper or copper alloys as they may cause decomposition or form unstable compounds.

4. How does the AR grade differ from technical grade dibutylamine?

AR grade dibutylamine undergoes additional purification steps to remove trace metals and other impurities, resulting in higher consistency and reliability for analytical applications compared to technical grade.
