Application

  • Dibutylamine is extensively used in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling with aryl halides to synthesize arylamines, popularly known as Buchwald–Hartwig amination.
  • It can be used in the oxone-mediated annulation of 2-aminobenzamides and 1,2-diaminobenzenes to synthesize 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones and 1H-benzimidazoles, respectively.
  • It can also be used in the one-pot multicomponent reactions to synthesize tetra- and penta-substituted polyfunctional dihydropyrroles.

The design and evaluation of a portable diffusive sampler for isocyanates is described. The sampler employs dibutylamine (DBA) loaded onto 60-microm polydimethylsiloxane-divinylbenzene (PDMS-DVB) solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fibers. The DBA-isocyanate derivative is then desorbed by sonication and analyzed by LC-MS using
