Dicyclohexylamine (DCHA)

Description

What is Dicyclohexylamine (DCHA)?

Dicyclohexylamine (commonly known as DCHA) is a secondary amine with the chemical formula HN(C₆H₁₁)₂. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is characterized by a typical amine-like, fishy odor. While it is only sparingly soluble in water, it dissolves well in many organic solvents.

As an organic base, Dicyclohexylamine plays a crucial role as a versatile intermediate and precursor in the synthesis of various specialty chemicals. It is widely used in the manufacture of corrosion inhibitors, vulcanization accelerators, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and other industrial applications.

Its stability, reactivity, and compatibility with different chemical processes make DCHA a valuable raw material in multiple industries worldwide.
