DescriptionDibenzyl amine (Dibenzylamine), molecular formula C14H15N, molecular weight 197.28, specific density 1.026, fusing point-26 ℃, 300 ℃ of boiling points, specific refractory power 1.574-1.576,143 ℃ of flash-points, water-soluble 0.05G/L (20 ℃). Dibenzyl amine is a colourless oil liquid, is smelly of ammonia, is soluble in ethanol and ether, and is water insoluble. Skin and mucous membranes have a stronger pungency. Dibenzyl amine is an important organic synthesis intermediate. Because dibenzylamine can not derive any carcinogenic nitrosamine and be widely used in the building-up process of medicine such as penicillin, and Linezolid, simultaneously, dibenzylamine can be used for producing the vulcanization accelerator zinc dibenzyldithiocarbamate (ZBEC) of high effect nontoxic and tetra-benzyl thiram disulfide (TBZTD) and can be used for the mensuration of cobalt, iron, cyanate etc.
UsesDibenzylamine is used to prepare rubber accelerator for the vulcanization process and reaction-stoppers. Dibenzylamine type accelerators reduce nitrosamine production in the compounding process. It is also used to produce dibenzyl-nitroso-amine.
Preparation methods
PreparationDibenzylamine is obtained by the reaction of benzyl chloride and liquid ammonia in ethanol.
