What is Bis(2-ethylhexyl)amine CAS 106-20-7？

Bis(2-ethylhexyl)amine is a secondary amine compound with good nucleophilic properties and certain alkalinity. It can undergo two nucleophilic substitution reactions with alkyl halide compounds to obtain corresponding quaternary ammonium compounds. Such quaternary ammonium salt derivatives can be used as surfactants and phase transfer catalysts, and have good applications in the study of organic chemical reactions. Because the nitrogen atom contains a pair of lone electrons, the substance is more sensitive to oxidizing agents, and is easy to be oxidized by oxidizing agents to the corresponding nitrogen oxides.

Application

Diisoctylamine can be used in basic organic chemistry research and fine chemical production and other fields, in chemical research, the substance is mainly used in the preparation of surfactants. In the field of daily chemical production, diiso-octylamine can be used as an extractant for rare metals. Diiso-octylamine can also be used as an emulsifier for the preparation of stable emulsion systems. Emulsifiers are widely used in the production of daily chemicals in the fields of cosmetics, detergents, lubricants, pigments and coatings. The emulsifying properties of diiso-octylamine enable it to help mix oil and water and form a stable emulsion structure, thus enabling the preparation of emulsion products.
