CH3CH28CH2NH2

CH3CH28CH2NH2, also known as 1-aminononane or nonylamine, 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. In this case, the alkyl group is a nine-carbon straight chain, the nonyl group.

This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature with a characteristic amine odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Like other amines, 1-aminononane is a weak base.

1-aminononane can be synthesized through various methods, including the reduction of nonanenitrile or the amination of nonyl halides. It finds applications in the synthesis of surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, and as an intermediate in the production of other organic chemicals. Its properties make it useful in applications where a long alkyl chain with a polar amine head group is desired.
