Product Overview
tert-Butylamine LR is a high-purity laboratory reagent designed for demanding chemical applications. This clear, colorless liquid offers a 99% assay, ensuring consistent and reliable results in organic synthesis and as a chemical intermediate. Its low moisture content and high reactivity make it an essential component in various laboratory processes. The LR grade designation guarantees adherence to strict quality standards, minimizing impurities that could affect experimental outcomes. With a boiling point of 44-46°C and a density of 0.696 g/mL at 25°C, tert-Butylamine LR provides predictable behavior in reactions. Its strong basic properties (pKa ~10.8) enable effective participation in nucleophilic substitutions and other base-catalyzed reactions. The solvent is packaged in a sturdy 500 ml bottle with a secure cap to prevent contamination and evaporation. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to maintain purity and performance. The product’s stability under normal laboratory conditions ensures long shelf life when stored properly. tert-Butylamine LR’s molecular formula (C4H11N) and molecular weight (73.14 g/mol) make it particularly useful in pharmaceutical research and specialty chemical production.
FAQs
1. What is the typical shelf life of tert-Butylamine LR when stored properly?
When stored in a cool, dry place with the container tightly sealed, tert-Butylamine LR maintains its specified purity for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture. Always check the label for the exact expiration date.
2. Can this product be used as a direct replacement for other alkylamines in existing protocols?
While tert-Butylamine LR shares many properties with other alkylamines, its steric bulk and basicity may affect reaction outcomes. We recommend conducting small-scale trials to verify compatibility with your specific application before full implementation.
3. What safety precautions should be taken when handling tert-Butylamine LR?
This product is highly flammable and corrosive. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment including nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and work in a well-ventilated fume hood. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.
4. How does the LR grade differ from other purity grades available?
The LR (Laboratory Reagent) grade is specifically formulated for general laboratory use, offering a balance between purity and cost-effectiveness. It contains fewer impurities than technical grades but may not meet the ultra-high purity requirements of ACS or HPLC grades.
5. What is the recommended storage temperature for tert-Butylamine LR?
For optimal stability, store tert-Butylamine LR at temperatures between 2-8°C. Avoid exposure to heat sources or direct sunlight, and ensure the container remains tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption.
