n-Ethylbutylamine

N-Ethylbutylamine (CAS 13360-63-9, EC 236-415-0) is a secondary aliphatic amine with the molecular formula C6H15N, commonly referred to as EBA, butylethylamine, or butyl(ethyl)amine. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified under HS code 29211999.

In pharmaceutical synthesis, EBA functions as a non-nucleophilic base to neutralise acid intermediates and control reaction pH during active ingredient manufacturing. In polymer production, it acts as an initiator or co-catalyst in polymerisation systems, and in agrochemical formulations it serves as a carrier solvent and pH buffer to stabilise active compounds.

N-Ethylbutylamine is supplied as a technical-grade clear liquid and falls under REACH registration requirements for commercial supply within the EU. Standard packaging formats include drums and IBC containers. Buyers should confirm purity specifications and SDS documentation directly with the supplier prior to procurement.
