Diisopropylamine is a secondary amine with the chemical formula (Me₂CH)₂NH (Me = methyl). Diisopropylamine is a colorless liquid with an ammonia-like odor. Its lithium derivative, lithium diisopropylamide, known as LDA is a widely used reagent.

Reactions and use

Diisopropylamine is a common amine nucleophile in organic synthesis.^[4] Because it is bulky, it is a more selective nucleophile than other similar amines, such as dimethylamine.^[5]

It reacts with organolithium reagents to give lithium diisopropylamide (LDA). LDA is a strong, non-nucleophilic base^[6]

The main commercial applications of diisopropylamine is as a precursor to the herbicide, diallate and triallate as well as certain sulfenamides used in the vulcanization of rubber.^[7]

It is also used to prepare N,N-diisopropylethylamine (Hünig's base) by alkylation with diethyl sulfate.^[8]

The bromide salt of diisopropylamine, diisopropylammonium bromide, is a room-temperature organic ferroelectric material.^[9]

Preparation

Diisopropylamine, which is commercially available, may be prepared by the reductive amination of acetone with ammonia using a modified copper oxide, generally copper chromite, as a catalyst:^[10]^[11]

NH₃ + 2 (CH₃)₂CO + 2 H₂ → C₆H₁₅N + 2 H₂O

Diisopropylamine can be dried by distillation from potassium hydroxide (KOH) or drying over sodium wire.^[12]^: 186

Toxicity

Diisopropylamine causes burns by all exposure routes. Inhalation of high concentrations of its vapor may cause symptoms like headache, dizziness, tiredness, nausea and vomiting.
