N-Ethylisopropylamine
What is N-Ethylisopropylamine?
N-Ethylisopropylamine (CAS 19961-27-4) is a secondary aliphatic amine used as a reactive intermediate and process chemical in pharmaceutical synthesis, agrochemical manufacturing and polymer chemistry.
Where is N-Ethylisopropylamine used?
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing: base catalyst in multi-step synthesis routes
- Agrochemicals: building block in the synthesis of active ingredients
- Polymer chemistry: polymerization initiation and chain-growth control for specialty resins
- Formulation development: carrier solvent and pH-adjusting agent
- It functions as a non-nucleophilic base, pH buffer and initiator where selectivity is critical and competing nucleophilic reactions must be suppressed.
Good to know: Purity tolerance varies significantly between pharmaceutical and industrial applications; buyers should confirm grade suitability against their specific synthesis or formulation requirements before purchase.
Commercial specifications
- Purity specifications typically range from 97% to 99% or higher depending on the batch
- Liquid in standard drum and IBC quantities suited to industrial-scale consumption
