1nonanamine

1nonanamine is an organic compound with the chemical formula C9H21N. It is a primary amine, meaning the nitrogen atom is bonded to one alkyl group and two hydrogen atoms. The alkyl group in this case is a nonyl group, a saturated nine-carbon chain. 1nonanamine is also known as nonylamine.

This compound is typically a colorless liquid with a characteristic amine odor. Its properties include solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water. As a primary amine, 1nonanamine exhibits basic properties due to the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom, allowing it to accept protons. It can undergo reactions typical of primary amines, such as acylation, alkylation, and salt formation with acids.

1nonanamine finds applications as an intermediate in the synthesis of various chemicals, including surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, and pharmaceuticals. It can be used as a building block in the creation of more complex organic molecules. Its handling requires appropriate safety precautions due to its potential irritant properties.
