Product Introduction
tert-Octylamine (CAS 107-45-9), chemically identified as 1,1,3,3-Tetramethylbutylamine, is a clear, colorless to light yellow liquid with a characteristic fishy, ammoniacal odor. As a branched primary aliphatic amine, its structure features a tertiary carbon atom directly attached to the nitrogen group. This unique branched configuration provides tert-Octylamine (CAS 107-45-9) with distinct steric hindrance and chemical reactivity compared to linear amines. It is widely utilized as an intermediate in the production of rubber chemicals, particularly accelerators, as well as in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, dyes, and specialized surfactants.

Storage
tert-Octylamine is a flammable and corrosive liquid. It must be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse away from potential ignition sources. Containers must be kept tightly sealed and stored under a nitrogen blanket if possible to prevent oxidation and absorption of atmospheric CO2. Store away from strong oxidizing agents, acids, and acid anhydrides. Use explosion-proof equipment in the storage and handling areas.
