Isopropylamine, also known as 2-propanamine or propan-2-amine, is an organic amine compound, mostly used as a solvent. It has the chemical formula C3H9N or (CH3)2CHNH2. While "isopropylamine" can be shortened to "IPA", this is not recommended, as IPA also stands for isopropyl alcohol.
Contents
Properties
Chemical
Isopropylamine reacts with acids, such as hydrochloric acid to form isopropylamine salts, such as isopropylamine chloride.
Physical
Isopropylamine is a hygroscopic colorless volatile liquid, with a strong fish or ammonia-like odor. It has a low boiling point of only 32.4 °C, while its melting point is −95.2 °C. Isopropylamine is miscible with water, as well as other organic solvents, such as ethanol, diethyl ether. It is also soluble in acetone, benzene, chloroform, but reacts with acidic solvents. It is extremely flammable, with a flash point of -18 °C or −35 °C (according to ESIS) and an autoignition temperature of 402 °C.[1]
Availability
Isopropylamine is sold by various chemical suppliers.
Sciencelab sells 500 ml at $85.55.
Preparation
Isopropylamine can be made by reacting isopropanol with ammonia, in the presence of a copper/cobalt/nickel catalyst.[2]
Projects
- Extract natural compounds
- Make N-methylisopropylamine
Handling
Safety
Isopropylamine has an unpleasant fishy smell, and it poses some toxicity. Skin contact with pure isopropylamine may cause burns. Vapors can severely irritate eyes and lungs.
It is volatile and quite flammable.
Storage
Isopropylamine, if desired as free base, must be stored in closed bottles, in dark and well ventilated places. Scrubbers containing low-volatile acids, like oxalic acid can be used to neutralize escaping isopropylamine vapors.
Isopropylamine salts must be stored in closed bottles, away from moisture and acidic vapors.
Disposal
Isopropylamine can be safely burned or oxidized with Fenton's reagent.
