clear colorless to light yellow liquid
Cyclooctylamine is used as pharmaceutical intermediates. It is used as a component of urea herbicides, e.g., cycluron (BASF). Its chemical behavior is analogous to that of other primary amines.
Cyclooctylamine can be produced by the Ritter reaction of cyclooctanol with hydrocyanic acid, by reduction of cyclooctanone oxime with sodium and an alcohol, by Ritter reaction of cyclooctene with hydrocyanic acid, or by catalytic hydrogenation of cyclooctanone under amination conditions.
