Oleylamine is a chemical compound from the group of aliphatic amines .
Extraction and presentation
Oleylamine can be obtained by hydrogenating ( Z ) -9-octadecenenitrile in the presence of ammonia and a Raney nickel catalyst .
properties
Oleylamine is a flammable, difficult to ignite, yellow paste with an amine-like odor that is practically insoluble in water. The compound is a long-chain primary alkylamine that acts as an electron donor and has an affinity for metals because of its NH 2 group.
use
Oleylamine is used in the chemical synthesis of nanoparticles . It acts as a powerful reducing agent as well as a stabilizer in the synthesis of nanoparticles. It was also used as a surfactant in textile production and as a cosmetic ingredient.
