Application

<ul>
<li><strong>Antimicrobial and Mutagenic Activity Research:</strong> N,N-Dimethyloctylamine is used as a versatile organic synthesis reagent used in the synthesis of quaternary diammonium salts derivatives of 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-<span class="html-small-caps">l</span>-iditol (Sikora et al., 2022).</li>
<li><strong>Antibacterial Membrane Synthesis:</strong> In the synthesis and characterization of cellulose acetate reverse osmosis membranes, which demonstrated excellent antibacterial properties. N,N-Dimethyloctylamine could be used in modifying these materials to improve their performance and durability, particularly in water purification systems (Li et al., 2019).</li>
<li><strong>Chromatographic Performance Improvement:</strong> Calabuig-Hern and aacute;ndez et al. assessed the performance of amines, including possibly N,N-Dimethyloctylamine, as silanol suppressors in reversed-phase liquid chromatography. This application underscores the compound′s role in enhancing chromatographic techniques, which are pivotal in analytical and preparative chemistry (Calabuig-Hern and aacute;ndez et al., 2016).</li>
