(S)-2-Aminohexane, also known as (S)-2-hexylamine, is an organic compound characterized by its aliphatic amine structure. It features a six-carbon chain with an amino group (-NH2) attached to the second carbon, which imparts basic properties to the molecule. The "S" designation indicates that it is the S-enantiomer, meaning it has a specific three-dimensional arrangement that affects its reactivity and interactions with biological systems. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic amine odor. It is soluble in water and organic solvents, making it versatile for various applications, including as a building block in organic synthesis and in the production of surfactants, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Due to the presence of the amino group, (S)-2-aminohexane can participate in various chemical reactions, such as alkylation and acylation, and can also act as a ligand in coordination chemistry. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes.
