Description
Dipropylamine (CAS 142-84-7, EC 205-565-9) is a secondary aliphatic amine with the molecular formula C6H15N, also known as dipropanamine, di-n-propylamine, and N-dipropylamine. It carries no E-code designation and is classified under HS code 29211910 for customs and trade purposes.
In pharmaceutical synthesis, dipropylamine serves as an intermediate and pH-buffering agent, neutralising acidic reaction media to drive selectivity in active ingredient manufacturing. In agrochemical formulations, it acts as a neutralising base for herbicide acid forms, improving solubility and foliar uptake. It also functions as a corrosion inhibitor in metalworking fluids by adsorbing onto metal surfaces.
Dipropylamine is supplied as a technical-grade liquid and is subject to REACH registration requirements within the European Economic Area. Procurement teams should confirm supplier SDS documentation and purity specifications prior to ordering. Standard packaging formats include drums and IBC containers.
