What are the physical properties of N, N-diisopropylethylamine?
N-diisopropyl ethylamine, also known as Hünig base, is a commonly used base in organic synthesis. Its physical properties are many, as follows:
Looking at its properties, under room temperature and pressure, N-diisopropyl ethylamine appears as a colorless and transparent liquid. This color state is easy to observe and distinguish in experimental operations, and it is easy to detect its existence and state changes in various reaction systems.
Smell its smell, which has the unique irritating smell of amine compounds. This smell is significant, and the experimenter can sense it by smell during operation. If it is accidentally leaked, it can be quickly detected, so that corresponding measures can be taken in time to ensure experimental safety and environmental safety.
In terms of its solubility, N-diisopropyl ethylamine can be well miscible with common organic solvents, such as ethanol, ether, dichloromethane, etc. This property makes it able to participate in the reaction as a base in a variety of organic reaction systems, and also helps the reactants to contact and mix with each other, promoting the smooth progress of the reaction. For example, in some nucleophilic substitution reactions, the substance can be uniformly dispersed in organic solvents with substrates and other reagents to improve the reaction efficiency.
Looking at the boiling point again, it is about 126-128 ° C. This boiling point determines its phase change under specific temperature conditions. During distillation, separation, etc., it can be effectively separated and purified from the reaction mixture according to the difference in boiling points to ensure the purity of the product.
When it comes to density, it is about 0.742 g/mL. Density data is of great significance in operations such as solution preparation and metering. Experimenters can accurately measure the required volume and precisely control the proportion of reactive materials to ensure the accuracy and repeatability of experimental results.
The vapor pressure and flash point of N-diisopropyl ethylamine cannot be ignored. Its flash point is about 10 ° C, which is a flammable liquid. When used, it needs to be kept away from open flames and heat sources to prevent fire accidents.
What should be paid attention to when storing N, N-diisopropyl ethylamine?
N-diisopropyl ethylamine, which is a commonly used base in organic synthesis. When storing it, pay attention to the following numbers:
First, choose a cool, dry and well-ventilated store. This is because it is volatile. If it is exposed to high temperature or humidity, it may increase volatilization, and moisture may neutralize and react with it, causing it to deteriorate. As "Tiangong Kaiqi" said, all things are hidden from the harm of water, fire, dampness and dryness, and the same is true for this medicine.
Second, it must be stored in isolation from oxidants, acids, etc. When N-diisopropyl ethylamine encounters an oxidizing agent, it is easy to oxidize and damage its chemical properties; when it encounters acids, it will cause a neutralization reaction and lose its alkaline ability. The ancients said that "each thing has its own characteristics, and if it violates each other, it will be harmful". I am sincere.
Furthermore, the storage container must be tightly sealed. This medicine evaporates very quickly. If the container is not tight, the medicine gas will escape, which will not only cause damage to the efficacy of the medicine, but also cause its pungent smell. It pervades the room and is also harmful to human health. Just as in "Tiangong Kaiwu", the storage device must be tight to prevent the loss of the material.
Repeat, in the storage place, when appropriate fire and leakage emergency treatment equipment is prepared. If a leak occurs, it can be controlled immediately to spread and reduce its harm. And this medicine is flammable, in case of open flame, hot topic or risk of explosion, so fire protection equipment is indispensable.
Also, clear labels are required. In storage containers and storage areas, "N-diisopropylethylamine" and corresponding danger warnings should be clearly written, so that the operator can see at a glance, know its nature and be careful. This is also in line with the ancient knowledge of objects to prevent misuse.
What are the synthesis methods of N, N-diisopropyl ethylamine?
There are many methods for synthesizing N-diisobutyl formamide, each of which has its own length, and new methods continue to emerge with the evolution of chemical processes. The following are several common methods:
One is the synthesis method of isobutylamine and formylation reagents as raw materials. In this way, isobutylamine can interact with formylation reagents such as formic acid and formate esters under suitable reaction conditions. For example, when formic acid is used as formylation reagent, the temperature and reaction time need to be controlled with the help of a catalyst. Commonly used catalysts include sulfuric acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, etc. This reaction is usually carried out under the condition of heating and reflux to fully react isobutylamine with formic acid to form N-diisobutyl formamide. The advantage is that the raw materials are relatively easy to obtain, and the reaction operation is not complicated; however, the disadvantage is that more by-products may be generated during the reaction process, resulting in the purity of the product being affected, and the subsequent separation and purification steps are more cumbersome.
Second, the reaction between acid chloride and isobutylamine is used. The reaction of formyl chloride and isobutylamine is mixed in a certain proportion, and the reaction occurs in the presence of acid binding agent. The function of acid binding agent is to neutralize the hydrogen chloride generated by the reaction and promote the positive progress of the reaction. Commonly used acid binding agents include triethylamine, pyridine, etc. This reaction condition is relatively mild, the reaction rate is fast, and the product yield is usually high. However, the properties of acid chloride are more active, and special care is required when storing and using, and the hydrogen chloride gas produced during the reaction needs to be properly handled to prevent pollution to the environment.
Third, it is synthesized by amide exchange reaction. Using N-substituted amides and isobutylamine as raw materials, under appropriate catalyst and reaction conditions, the amide bond exchange occurs to generate the target product N-diisobutyl formamide. The advantage of this method is that some common N-substituted amides can be used as starting materials, which broadens the selection range of raw materials. However, the selective control of the reaction is quite difficult, and the reaction conditions need to be precisely adjusted in order to obtain higher purity products.
The above synthetic methods need to be considered in practical applications according to various factors such as specific needs, availability of raw materials, cost considerations, and requirements for product purity. After comprehensive weighing, the most suitable method is selected.
What are the safety risks of N, N-diisopropylethylamine?
N-diisopropyl ethylamine, which poses many safety hazards.
One of them is flammable. N-diisopropyl ethylamine is an organic alkali compound and is flammable. Under high temperature, open flame or strong oxidant environment, it is very likely to cause combustion, and even the danger of explosion. If the storage and use are neglected, if it is not far from the fire source, heat source, or operated in a poorly ventilated place, a fire will ignite in an instant, and the fire will spread rapidly, threatening the safety of surrounding personnel and facilities.
The second is a health hazard. Its vapor or fog is irritating to the eyes and upper respiratory tract. Contact can cause eye and skin burns. If a person inhales high concentrations, it can cause symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, increased blood pressure, and rapid pulse. In severe cases, it affects the nervous system and cardiovascular system, endangering life and health. Long-term or repeated exposure may cause chronic damage to organ function.
The third is environmental risk. If N-diisopropyl ethylamine accidentally leaks into the environment, it will remain in the soil and water because it is difficult to degrade. Entering water bodies can cause water pollution, affect the survival and reproduction of aquatic organisms, and destroy the balance of aquatic ecology; infiltrate into soil, or change soil properties, affecting plant growth.
