Pentadecylamine is a long-chain primary amine characterized by its straight-chain structure consisting of a 15-carbon alkyl group attached to an amino group. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and exhibits a strong, fishy odor typical of amines. Pentadecylamine is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic alkyl chain. This compound is known for its surfactant properties, making it useful in various applications, including as a corrosion inhibitor and in the formulation of emulsifiers and detergents. Additionally, pentadecylamine can participate in various chemical reactions, such as alkylation and amidation, due to the presence of the amino group. Its long carbon chain contributes to its surface-active properties, enhancing its effectiveness in formulations. Safety considerations include its potential to cause skin and eye irritation, necessitating appropriate handling precautions. Overall, pentadecylamine is a versatile chemical with applications in industrial and research settings.

Pentadecylamine is a reactive, pharmaceutically active compound with a phase transition temperature of -9.1°C and a melting point of -2.6°C. It has the chemical formula CH3(CH2)14N and is soluble in water and ethanol. Pentadecylamine is an amine that can react with polycarboxylic acids to form esters, carbonyls to form imines, or amides to form amides. The pH optimum for pentadecylamine is acidic at 2, while its viscosity is low at 0.5 cP at 25°C and high at 10,000 cP at 1°C. Pentadecylamine can be used as an intermediate in the synthesis of drugs such as phenylacetic acid derivatives and other esters, carboxylates, amides, or unsaturated alkyl fatty acids.
