Description:Heptylamine, with the CAS number 111-68-2, is a primary amine characterized by a straight-chain structure consisting of seven carbon atoms (heptane) with an amino group (-NH2) attached to one end. This colorless to pale yellow liquid exhibits a strong, fishy odor typical of amines. Heptylamine is soluble in water due to the presence of the polar amino group, although its solubility decreases with increasing carbon chain length. It is flammable and should be handled with care, as it can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Heptylamine is used in various applications, including as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of surfactants, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Additionally, it can participate in reactions typical of amines, such as alkylation and acylation, making it a versatile compound in organic synthesis. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with heptylamine due to its potential hazards.
