Description

2-Aminooctane is an organic compound that has a variety of industrial applications. It is used in the production of butyric acid and as a viscosity index improver in lubricating oils. 2-Aminooctane is also used to produce nitrides, which are compounds containing nitrogen and at least one other element. These compounds are useful for their high thermal stability, low reactivity, and high melting point. 2-Aminooctane can be obtained by oxidizing 2-aminoethanol with nitric acid or by reacting aminobutyric acid with formaldehyde. The product is then distilled under vacuum to remove excess water and other volatile substances.
2-Aminooctane is a colorless liquid that boils at 140°C (284°F) and freezes at -89°C (-129°F). It has an acidic odor and can react with bases such as calcium hydroxide to form calcium amin
