| Chemical Properties | CLEAR LIQUID |
| Uses | 1-Octylamine is used as a precursor to prepare chemicals. It finds application in functional fluids and as a laboratory reagent. Further, it is used as a reactant in the preparation of 2H-indazoles and 1H-indazolones, which are used as myeloperoxidase(MPO) inhibitors. |
| Uses | Octylamine is mainly used to synthesize amphiphilic copolymers for polymer coating of quantum dots (QDs) to make them water-soluble.Other applications: |
| Definition | ChEBI: An 8-carbon primary aliphatic amine. |
| Production Methods | Specific uses
were not located in the literature. 1-Octylamine is

| General Description | A yellow liquid with an ammonia-like odor. Insoluble in water and less dense than water. Hence floats on water. Contact may irritate skin, eyes and mucous membranes. May be toxic by ingestion. Used to make other chemicals. |
| Air & Water Reactions | Insoluble in water. |
| Reactivity Profile | OCTANAMINE neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen may be generated in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides. |
| Health Hazard | TOXIC; inhalation, ingestion or skin contact with material may cause severe injury or death. Contact with molten substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. Avoid any skin contact. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution. |
| Fire Hazard | Combustible material: may burn but does not ignite readily. When heated, vapors may form explosive mixtures with air: indoors, outdoors and sewers explosion hazards. Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may pollute waterways. Substance may be transported in a molten form. |
| Flammability and Explosibility | Flammable |
