General description

Butylamine (n-Butylamine, BuA) is a primary aliphatic amine. Its pyrolysis mechanism has been investigated. BuA can be synthesized from butyronitrile via Co/SiO2 (silicon dioxide) assisted hydrogenation. A decrease in fluorescence intensity was observed on adding BuA to a solution of colloidal CdSe nanoparticles (NPs).

Application

Butylamine (n-Butylamine) may be used as a template to generate hierarchical monolithic zeolites. It may also be used as a dispersion medium for fluorinated graphene sheets (F-GSs) to generate butylamine modified F-GSs.
