What is Ethylbutylamine?
Ethylbutylamine (CAS 13360-63-9) is a secondary aliphatic amine. Also known as N-butylethylamine.
Where is Ethylbutylamine used?
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing: building block for active ingredient synthesis
- Agrochemicals: intermediate in herbicides and pesticides where controlled basicity is required
- Polymers and plastics: polymerization initiator or catalyst modifier influencing chain initiation and molecular weight distribution
- Lubricants and metalworking fluids: functional additive for pH control
- It also acts as a buffering agent to control pH in reaction sequences.
Good to know: Buyers should confirm purity specifications and moisture content when sourcing for GMP-regulated applications.
Commercial specifications
- Liquid in standard drum and IBC packaging
- Purity levels suitable for pharmaceutical intermediate use are available from select suppliers
