Oleylamine is an organic compound with a molecular formula C 18 H 35 NH 2. [1] It is an unsaturated fatty amine related to the fatty acid oleic acid . The pure compound is a clear and colorless liquid.
Fatty amines are commonly prepared from fatty acids; which are themselves obtained from natural sources, typically seed-oils.The overall reaction is sometimes referred to as the Nitrile Process [3] and begins with a reaction between the fatty acid and ammonia at high temperature (>250 °C) and in the presence of a metal oxide catalyst (e.g., alumina or zinc oxide) to give the fatty nitrile.
An example of a fatty alcohol. Fatty alcohols (or long-chain alcohols) are usually high-molecular-weight, straight-chain primary alcohols, but can also range from as few as 4–6 carbons to as many as 22–26, derived from natural fats and oils.
Oleyl alcohol / ˈ oʊ l i ˌ ɪ l, ˈ oʊ l i əl /, [1] or cis-9-octadecen-1-ol, is an unsaturated fatty alcohol with the molecular formula C 18 H 36 O or the condensed structural formula CH 3 (CH 2) 7 −CH=CH−(CH 2) 8 OH. It is a colorless oil, mainly used in cosmetics.
A 2017 review found that diets enriched in oleic acid are beneficial for regulating body weight. [62] The United States FDA has approved a health claim on reduced risk of coronary heart disease for high oleic (> 70% oleic acid) oils. [63] Some oil plants have cultivars bred to increase the amount of oleic acid in the oils.
N-Oleyl-1,3-propanediamine is used as a catalyst in the production of urethanes and epoxies.It is used as a emulsifier in the making of asphalt, an ore flotation agent, and a dispersant for some paints.
Oleamide has been found in Ziziphus jujuba, also known as Jujube fruit. [14]Synthetic oleamide has a variety of industrial uses, including as a lubricant. [15]Oleamide was found to be leaching out of polypropylene plastics in laboratory experiments, affecting experimental results. [16]
Diallylamine is a precursor to industrial products. Functionalized allylamines have pharmaceutical applications. Pharmaceutically important allylamines include flunarizine and naftifine; the latter spurred the development of Petasis' borono-Mannich reaction.
