CLEAR COLORLESS TO SLIGHTLY YELLOW LIQUID
1-Aminoheptane is a flammable liquid.
Heptylamine
is used in organic syntheses.
1-Heptylamine has been used as an internal standard in the determination of biogenic monoamines and biogenic diamines by the fluorescence-HPLC method. It has also been used to study the effect of hydration on the gaseous structure of protonated heptylamine by infrared photo dissociation (IRPD) spectroscopy and computational chemistry.
1-Aminoheptane can be used to prepare implantable devices having antibacterial properties and multifunctional surfaces.
ChEBI: Heptylamine is an alkylamine.
Dry it in over KOH pellets for 24hours, then decant it and fractionally distil it. Store away from CO2. [Beilstein 4 IV 734.]
