n,n-Dimethylbutylamine

N,N-Dimethylbutylamine (CAS 927-62-8), also known as butyldimethylamine or N-butyldimethylamine, is a tertiary aliphatic amine supplied as a clear liquid. It carries no assigned E-code and is catalogued under EC number 213-156-1 with the molecular formula C6H15N.

In pharmaceutical synthesis, it functions as a non-nucleophilic base and pH buffer, neutralising acid intermediates without competing in substitution reactions. In polymer and resin production, it acts as a catalyst for urethane and epoxy cure reactions. Water treatment formulators use it as a carrier solvent to solubilise active ingredients at controlled pH.

N,N-Dimethylbutylamine is supplied in compliance with REACH regulations and is available in standard industrial grades. Typical packaging includes drums and intermediate bulk containers. Procurement teams should confirm purity specifications and SDS documentation with the supplier prior to ordering.
