‌2-ethylhexylamine is in the form of a colorless, transparent liquid.

‌Physical state‌: 2-ethylhexylamine is a colorless, transparent liquid at room temperature and pressure, with a certain ammonia odor.
‌Solubility‌: The substance is slightly soluble in water, but easily soluble in a variety of organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, ether, ethyl acetate, acetone, etc. It can dissolve paraffin and carnauba wax when heated, and precipitate when cooled.
In summary, 2-ethylhexylamine is a colorless, transparent liquid with specific solubility. When handling and storing, care should be taken to avoid contact with oxidants to prevent oxidation and deterioration. At the same time, due to its wide range of uses, such as being used as an intermediate for pesticides, dyes, surfactants, insecticides, etc., it plays an important role in chemical production.

‌2-Ethylhexylamine, also known as 3-(aminomethyl)heptane, is a versatile organic compound widely used as a chemical raw material. Its main uses include:

‌As an intermediate: 2-Ethylhexylamine is an important intermediate for a variety of chemicals such as pesticides, dyes, surfactants, insecticides, etc. For example, it is used to produce (2-ethylhexylamine)-1-isopropyl-4-methylbicyclo(2,2,2)octylchloro-2,3-dihydroxyimide.
‌Insecticide synergist: It has the same synergistic effect as piperonyl butoxide and can increase the activity of insecticides or prolong their duration.
‌Other applications: It is also used to produce stabilizers, preservatives, emulsifiers, rust inhibitors, oil additives, etc. In addition, it is also a raw material for the pharmaceutical antiprotozoal and antifungal agent “Shecteridine” and antiseptic drugs, as well as an intermediate for cyanoacrylic acid series ultraviolet absorbers.
The wide range of uses of 2-ethylhexylamine makes it an indispensable and important raw material in chemical production.
