. Classified as a secondary amine, the molecule contains two isobutyl groups. This colorless liquid is a weak base that is useful as an inhibitor of bacterial growth, as a precursor to various fertilizers, and a corrosion inhibitor.[3]

Applications

Environmental

Diisobutylamine has been used in water flooding operations to control the growth of sulfate reducing bacteria. When water was treated with low concentrations of diisobutylamine, the microorganisms usually present were killed. This has wide environmental impacts, because even microorganisms resistant to normal bactericides were removed from the water by the diisobutylamine.[4]

Diisobutylamine is also used as a precursor to various fertilizers, and it is produced when plants or agents in soil break down butylate fertilizers.[5]

Industrial

It is a precursor to the herbicide called butylate.[3]

It is used as an agent to minimize corrosion in processes involving hydrocarbon streams which contain residual ammonia or amines. Being more basic, diisobutylamine reacts preferentially with any mineral acids in the stream (i.e. HCl). Also because diisobutylamine is more basic, its conjugate acid is less acidic, leading to a less corrosive salt formed.[6]

Another use of diisobutylamine is in preventing corrosion and cleaning surfaces containing titanium nitride (i.e. semiconductors in computer chips, solar panels, bioMEMS, etc.). When mixed with an oxidizing agent, water, and a borate species, the mixture can clean particles, residues, metal ion contaminants, and organic contaminants all without damaging the low-k dielectrics.[7]

Diisobutylamine has also been used to help improve storage conditions of fuel oils. Commercial fuel oils are often subject to discoloration or formation of insoluble sludge during storage which causes a loss of value. However, when stored with amine salts containing diisobutylamine, the change in color or formation of sludge of the oil is significantly reduced.[8]

Plastic polymers treated with basic species including diisobutylamine show rapid decrosslinking of the polymer network. This suggests that reworkable polymer materials could be formed that could easily be degraded and recycled.[9]

Reactions

Diisobutylamine reacts with arylphosphonic dichlorides to give arylphosphonic amines.[10]

Diisobutylamine reacts with dimethyldioxirane to give diisobutylhydroxylamine, as typical for oxidation of secondary amines to give hydroxylamines.[11]
