Diisopropylamine
C6H15N · CAS 108-18-9
Pharmaceutical intermediates, solvent
A sterically hindered secondary amine: two isopropyl groups shield the nitrogen, so the compound behaves primarily as a base rather than a nucleophile. It is in demand for pharmaceutical intermediates and as a solvent. GHS: flammable liquid 3, skin irritation 2, eye irritation 2A, STOT SE 3; explosive limits are 0.9–6.5 %, so the lower threshold is reached at an already low vapor concentration. LD50 920 mg/kg, exposure limit 50 mg/m³; each lot is issued with the manufacturer's certificate of analysis and a safety data sheet.
