N,N-Dicyclohexylmethylamine is used as a reagent in the base preparation of 13C2- and 2H phenethylamines as internal standards for IDMS by Pd-catalyzed double carbonylation of aryl iodides in the presence of amine nucleophiles followed by deoxygenation.
N,N-Dicyclohexylmethylamine has been employed as:
- catalyst during O-phenylation of tertiary alcohol with organobismuth(V) compounds
- base during Pd-catalyzed 5-endo-trig cyclization of 1-(o-bromophenyl)-2-methylprop-2-en-1-ol
ChEBI: N-Cyclohexyl-N-methylcyclohexanamine is an amine.
N,N-Dicyclohexylmethylamine has uses similar to those of the other cyclohexylamines, e.g., as a urethane foam catalyst.
N,N-Dicyclohexylmethylamine is prepared by methylating dicyclohexylamine
with dimethyl sulfate or by the
Leuckart – Wallach reaction.
