Diallylamine is the organic compound with the formula HN(CH2CH=CH2)2. It is a colorless liquid with an ammonia-like odor. It is multifunctional, featuring a secondary amine and two alkene groups. Diallylamine is used in the production of N,N-diallyldichloroacetamide (dichlormid) and N,N-diallyldimethylammonium chloride.[2]

Preparation

edit

It is produced commercially by partial hydrogenation of acrylonitrile:[2]

2 NCCH=CH2 + 4 H2 → HN(CH2CH=CH2)2 + NH3

A laboratory route to diallylamine entails diallylation of calcium cyanamide followed by decyanation of the product.[3]
