Ntributyl

Ntributyl is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C12H27N. It is a tertiary amine, which means it has a nitrogen atom bonded to three alkyl groups. The term "ntributyl" is often used as a shorthand for N,N,N-tributylamine, a specific isomer of tributylamine. N,N,N-tributylamine is a colorless liquid at room temperature with a fishy odor, similar to other amines. It is soluble in water and many organic solvents. This compound is primarily used as a catalyst in the production of polyurethane foams and as a corrosion inhibitor in metalworking fluids. It is also used in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Ntributyl is classified as a hazardous substance due to its potential health and environmental impacts. It can cause skin and eye irritation, and inhalation can lead to respiratory issues. Proper handling and disposal procedures should be followed when working with this compound.
