used in organic syntheses.
Uses
Di-n-hexylamine is used in organic synthesis and involved in the preparation of succinic acid.
General Description
Clear colorless liquid.
Air & Water Reactions
DI-N-HEXYLAMINE may be sensitive to prolonged exposure to air. Insoluble in water.
Reactivity Profile
DI-N-HEXYLAMINE neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen may be generated in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.
Health Hazard
ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: DI-N-HEXYLAMINE is readily absorbed through the skin.
Fire Hazard
DI-N-HEXYLAMINE is combustible.
Safety Profile
poison by ingestion,
skin contact, and intravenous routes. A skin
exposed to heat or flame; can react with
oxidizing materials. To fight fire, use CO2,
dry chemical. When heated to
decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx. See also AMINES.
