Diisopropylamine is a secondary aliphatic amine with a strong, ammonia-like odor, commonly used as a base catalyst in organic synthesis, a ligand in metal coordination chemistry, and a reagent in pharmaceutical intermediate production. It is also employed in the manufacture of agrochemicals and as a corrosion inhibitor in fuels. This chemical has a CAS number of 108-18-9, with the molecular formula (CH3)2CHNHCH(CH3)2 and a molecular weight of 101.19. It should be stored at ambient conditions but handled with caution due to its "Danger" signal word classification. Molekula supplies Diisopropylamine from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
