Tri-n-octylamine is an organic compound that is used as a reactant in chemical reactions. The reaction mechanism of tri-n-octylamine is not well understood, but it can be classified as an acidic compound. It is stable in the presence of citric acid and langmuir adsorption isotherm suggests that it will form stable complexes with other compounds. Tri-n-octylamine has been used to create microcapsules for delivery of pharmaceuticals and other chemicals. It has also been used to stabilize protocatechuic acid by reacting with sodium carbonate to create a reactive surface methodology. Finally, tri-n-octylamine has been shown to have synergistic effects when combined with sodium citrate

Tri-n-octylamine is used as an extractant for organic acids like trichloroacetic acid, succinic acid, acetic acid and precious metals. It is also used as a solvent and an intermediate in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals. Further, it is employed in the preparation of quaternary ammonium compounds, agrochemicals, surfactants, lubricant additives, corrosion inhibitors, vulcanization accelerators and dyes.
