Chemical Properties
Triisobutylamine is flammable.
Uses
Triisobutylamine is suitable to develop second generation ionic liquid matrices for MALDI-MS of peptides, proteins and carbohydrates. It may be used in the separation of
cis-fatty acid salts and and
trans-fatty acid (elaidic acid) salts using a new organic solvent nanofiltration membrane based on polydicyclopentadiene. It may be used as base in the synthesis of acroyl ammonium derivatives.
Production Methods
Triisobutylamine is manufactured from isobutanol and
ammonia under heat and pressure.
General Description
Clear pale yellow liquid.
Air & Water Reactions
Insoluble in water.
Reactivity Profile
TRIISOBUTYLAMINE 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: Toxic.
Fire Hazard
TRIISOBUTYLAMINE is combustible.
