tert-Octylamine

CAS 107-45-9

tert-Octylamine is a bulky, highly branched primary amine. The nitrogen retains normal amine chemistry, but the branched C8 framework changes sterics, hydrophobicity, packing, and the properties of its salts. It is a specialty building block showing that a functional group defines possible reactions while molecular shape helps determine how the resulting material actually behaves.
