tert-Butylamine

Description

What is tert-Butylamine?

tert-Butylamine (tBA) is a colorless, transparent organic compound with a strong amine-like odor. Classified under reactive primary aliphatic amines, it is highly flammable, sensitive to air, and readily miscible in water and various solvents. Its heavier-than-air vapors demand careful handling.

As an isomeric amine of butane, tert-Butylamine is widely used as a key raw material in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, rubber accelerators, dyes, and specialty chemicals. Chemex Chemicals is one of the leading importers and distributors of tert-Butylamine in India, ensuring high-quality supply with reliable packaging and technical support.
