C9H19NH2

C9H19NH2 is the chemical formula for nonylamine, also known as nonan-1-amine. This compound is an organic molecule belonging to the amine family, characterized by the presence of a primary amine group (-NH2) attached to a nine-carbon alkyl chain. It is a colorless liquid at room temperature with a distinct amine odor. Nonylamine is sparingly soluble in water but readily dissolves in many organic solvents.

The primary application of nonylamine is as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemicals. It is used in the production of surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, and pharmaceuticals. Its reactive amine group allows it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as alkylation and acylation, making it a versatile building block. Nonylamine can also be found in some agricultural chemicals and rubber processing aids. Due to its chemical properties, it is handled with appropriate safety precautions to avoid contact with skin and eyes and to ensure proper ventilation.
