General description

Dipropylamine is an aliphatic amine, commonly used as a deprotection reagent for fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) groups. Its nucleophilic properties, due to the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom, allow it to effectively participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions.

Application

  • Separation of hydrocarbons: Nitrogen-containing switchable solvents, including dipropylamine, are used for the separation of hydrocarbons and their derivatives, showcasing the compound′s versatility in solvent applications (Liu et al., 2020).
  • Microextraction techniques: Dipropylamine-based dispersive micro-solid phase extraction combined with switchable hydrophilicity solvent is employed for enriching non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs from environmental water samples, demonstrating its utility in complex sample preparation (Di et al., 2020).
  • Homogeneous liquid-liquid microextraction: A new pH assisted homogeneous liquid-liquid microextraction method utilizing dipropylamine as a solvent with switchable hydrophilicity was developed for the GC-MS determination of methamphetamine, highlighting its effectiveness in analytical chemistry applications (Shahvandi et al., 2018).
  • Removal of contaminants: Research demonstrated the use of zeolite and powdered activated carbon in conjunction with dipropylamine for the simultaneous removal of ammonia and N-nitrosamine precursors from high ammonia water, underscoring its environmental application (Xue et al., 2018).
  • Nanosized synthesis: Dipropylamine was used in a co-templating synthesis approach for the production of high-yield nanosized (Si)AlPO-41 using ethanol polarity equalization, illustrating its role in materials science (Majano et al., 2015).
