Diisopropylamine

Diisopropylamine is a secondary amine with the chemical formula (CH3)2HC-NH-CH(CH3)2. It is best known as its lithium derivative of its conjugate base, lithium diisopropylamide, known as "LDA". LDA is a strong, non-nucleophilic base.

Not to be confused with Diisopropanolamine.

Diisopropylamine can be dried by distillation from potassium hydroxide (KOH) or drying over sodium wire.[5]

Reactions and uses

Diisopropylamine is primarily used as a precursor to two herbicides, diallate and triallate, as well as certain sulfenamides used in the vulcanization of rubber.[6] It is also used to prepare N,N-Diisopropylethylamine (Hünig's base) by alkylation with diethyl sulfate.[7]

The bromide salt of diisopropylamine, diisopropylammonium bromide, is an organic molecular solid whose crystals are ferroelectric at room temperature.[8] This renders it a possible more biospherically inert alternative to barium titanate.

Preparation

Diisopropylamine is commercially available. It may be prepared by the reductive amination of acetone with ammonia using a modified copper oxide, generally copper chromite, as a catalyst:[9][10]

NH
3 + 2(CH
3)
2CO + 2H
2 → C
6H
15N + 2H
2O


Toxicity

Causes burns by all exposure routes. Inhalation of high vapor concentrations may cause symptoms like headache, dizziness, tiredness, nausea and vomiting.[11]
