68511-41-1 – Introduction

Dodecyloxy propylamine, also known as dodecyl amine ether, chemical formula for C12H25O(CH2)2NH2, molecular weight of 213.4g/mol. Fourteen alkoxy propylamine, also known as tetradecylamine ether, chemical formula for C14H29O(CH2)2NH2, molecular weight of 241.4g/mol. They are an alkylamine oxide compound.

in terms of nature, dodecyloxy propylamine and tetradecyloxy propylamine are yellow oily liquids, alkaline, soluble in water, alcohol and ether solvents.

Dodecyloxypropylamine and tetradecyloxypropylamine are mainly used in industry to prepare surfactants. They can be used as emulsifiers, wetting agents, plasticizers, preservatives and components of detergents. In addition, they can also be used as catalysts and complexing agents for certain chemical reactions.

In terms of preparation method, the commonly used preparation method is obtained by reacting dodecyloxy ethylene diamine or tetradecyloxy ethylene diamine with epichlorohydrin.

in terms of safety information, dodecyloxy propylamine and tetradecyloxy propylamine are alkaline compounds. When using, you should pay attention to protective measures and avoid contact with skin, eyes, etc. During storage and use, be careful to avoid contact with strong oxidants and acidic substances to prevent dangerous reactions.
