Diisopropylamine is a secondary amine with the chemical formula (Me2CH)2NH (Me = methyl). Diisopropylamine is a colorless liquid with an ammonia-like odor. Its lithium derivative, lithium diisopropylamide, known as LDA is a widely used reagent.

Reactions and use

Diisopropylamine is a common amine nucleophile in organic synthesis.[4] Because it is bulky, it is a more selective nucleophile than other similar amines, such as dimethylamine.[5]

It reacts with organolithium reagents to give lithium diisopropylamide (LDA). LDA is a strong, non-nucleophilic base[6]

The main commercial applications of diisopropylamine is as a precursor to the herbicide, diallate and triallate as well as certain sulfenamides used in the vulcanization of rubber.[7]

It is also used to prepare N,N-Diisopropylethylamine (Hünig's base) by alkylation with diethyl sulfate.[8]

The bromide salt of diisopropylamine, diisopropylammonium bromide, is a room-temperature organic ferroelectric material.[9]

Preparation

Diisopropylamine, which is commercially available, may be prepared by the reductive amination of acetone with ammonia using a modified copper oxide, generally copper chromite, as a catalyst:[10][11]

Diisopropylamine can be dried by distillation from potassium hydroxide (KOH) or drying over sodium wire.[12](p186)

Toxicity

Diisopropylamine causes burns by all exposure routes. Inhalation of high concentrations of its vapor may cause symptoms like headache, dizziness, tiredness, nausea and vomiting.
