| Butylamine Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | colourless to yellow liquid |
| Definition | ChEBI: A primary aliphatic amine that is butane substituted by an amino group at position 1. |
| General Description | A clear colorless liquid with an ammonia-like odor. Flash point 10°F. Less dense (6.2 lb / gal) than water. Vapors heavier than air. Produces toxic oxides of nitrogen during combustion. |
| Air & Water Reactions | Highly flammable. Dissolves in water with evolution of heat. The resulting solutions are basic. |
| Reactivity Profile | N-BUTYL AMINE reacts violently with strong oxidizing agents and acids. Attacks copper and copper compounds [Handling Chemicals Safely 1980 p. 123]. Reacts with hypochlorites to give N-chloroamines which may be explosive when isolated [Bretherick 1979 p. 108]. |
| Health Hazard | Inhalation causes irritation, nausea, vomiting, headache, faintness, severe coughing and chest pains; can cause lung edema. Ingestion causes severe irritation of mouth and stomach. Contact with eyes causes severe irritation and edema of the cornea. Contact with skin causes burns; absorption through skin may cause nausea, vomiting and shock. |
