Product Profile
Diisopropylamine (DIPA) is a high-purity secondary aliphatic amine widely used as a chemical intermediate, catalyst, solvent, and reagent in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical manufacturing.
It is a clear, colorless liquid with a strong ammonia-like odor and excellent reactivity in organic synthesis. One of its most important derivatives is Lithium Diisopropylamide (LDA), a strong non-nucleophilic base extensively used in pharmaceutical and fine chemical production.
Due to its outstanding chemical stability, high purity, and broad applicability, Diisopropylamine is an important raw material for a variety of industrial processes worldwide.
