CAS 102-86-3: Trihexylamine

Applications Trihexylamine is a chemical reagent used i the preparation of infrared luminescence nanohybrid films as well as the isolation and purification of biosuccinic acid used in the pharmaceutical industry. Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package References Shimizu, T. et al.: Mater. Lett., 110, 180 (2013); Kurzrock, T. et al.: Biotech. Prog., 27, 1623 (2011);

Trihexylamine is a quaternary ammonium salt that is used as an antimicrobial agent. It is typically used in the form of its hydrochloride salt. It reacts with fatty acids to produce methyl ethyl and acid complexes. The hydroxyl group on the trihexylamine molecule can react with metal hydroxides, such as sodium carbonate, to produce an alkaline solution. This reaction produces a transfer reaction that leads to the formation of inorganic acid, which can be detected by chemical stability or electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Trihexylamine has been shown to be chemically stable when exposed to heat and light.

Tri(hex-1-yl)amine

Tri-n-hexylamine is used as an extractant during isolation and purification of succinic acid from an escherichia coli fermentation broth in pharmaceutical industry. It is also used as an internal standard in screening of human hair specimens for designer drugs by ion mobility spectrometry. Further, it is involved in the synthesis of zinc oxide nanorods. In addition to this, it is used in the preparation of infrared luminescence nanohybrid films. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio.
