Oleylamine
open-in-new
<h2 id="chemical-reactions">Chemical reactions</h2> <p>Oleylamine reacts with <a href="/facts/Carboxylic_acid/U4xuMosy">carboxylic acid</a> to form its carboxylate salt through an exothermic reaction.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9"><sup>9</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10"><sup>10</sup></a> Its carboxylate salt can further condensate into amides through the loss of one water molecule. In the presence of <a href="/facts/Acetic_acid/uyBKA2Pd">acetic acid</a>, oleylamin forms with <a href="/facts/DNA/nB89Iauz">DNA</a> insoluble complexes with the radii of the particles equal 60–65 nm.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11"><sup>11</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="uses">Uses</h2> <p>Commercially, it is mainly used as a <a href="/facts/Surfactant/zgVX6g8o">surfactant</a> or <a href="/facts/Precursor_(chemistry)/dUw8Mx2Y">precursor</a> to surfactants.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12"><sup>12</sup></a> </p><p>It has also been used in the laboratory to synthesise <a href="/facts/Nanoparticles/k8kNxX4E">nanoparticles</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:13" href="#fn:13"><sup>13</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14"><sup>14</sup></a> It can function both as a <a href="/facts/Solvent/LoMPMz8S">solvent</a> for the reaction mixture and as a coordinating agent to stabilize the surface of the particles. It can also coordinate with metal ions, change the form of metal precursors and affect the formation kinetics of nanoparticles during the synthesis.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:15" href="#fn:15"><sup>15</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="safety">Safety</h2> <p>Oleylamine has an <a href="/facts/LD50/PSTer8Wv">LD50</a> (Intraperitoneal) of 888 mg/kg in mice, however, note that it is listed as a level 3 health hazard on the NFPA diamond, so it should be handled with caution. </p> <h2 id="characterization">Characterization</h2> <p>Oleylamine can be characterized using MS, <a href="/facts/HNMR/g9AGxvSP">HNMR</a>, <a href="/facts/CNMR/0RlV1ajq">CNMR</a>, IR, and Raman. Each technique shows distinct peaks in various regions.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:16" href="#fn:16"><sup>16</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="see-also">See also</h2> <ul><li><a href="/facts/Oleamide/hLTmyFEA">Oleamide</a></li></ul> <h2 id="references">References</h2> <ol> <li id="fn:1"><p>Pubchem.
