Description
Tert-Butylamine (CAS 75-64-9, EC 200-888-1, formula C4H11N) is a primary aliphatic amine also identified under the names 2-Aminoisobutane and T-Butylamine. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified within the broader amine chemical category under HS code 29211980.
In pharmaceutical synthesis, tert-Butylamine functions as a pH buffer and intermediate, where its strong basicity controls reaction conditions during active ingredient production. In agrochemical and polymer manufacturing, it acts as a polymerization initiator and carrier solvent, facilitating controlled chain-growth reactions and improving reagent dispersion across the formulation matrix.
Tert-Butylamine is supplied in liquid form and is subject to REACH registration requirements for European procurement. Buyers should confirm compliance documentation including Safety Data Sheets and purity certificates prior to ordering. Standard packaging formats for industrial supply typically include drums and IBC containers, with grades selected according to end-use specification requirements.
