Description:Hexylamine, with the CAS number 111-26-2, is an organic compound classified as a primary amine. It consists of a six-carbon straight-chain alkyl group (hexyl) attached to an amino group (-NH2). This colorless to pale yellow liquid has a characteristic fishy odor and is soluble in water, alcohol, and ether, which is typical for amines due to their ability to form hydrogen bonds. Hexylamine has a relatively low boiling point and is flammable, necessitating careful handling. It is primarily used in the synthesis of various chemicals, including surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, hexylamine can act as a building block in organic synthesis and is involved in the production of rubber accelerators and agricultural chemicals. Due to its amine functional group, it can participate in various chemical reactions, such as alkylation and acylation. Safety precautions are essential when working with hexylamine, as it can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system.
