PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Product Profile
Tert. Butylamine is a primary, aliphatic amine, which is used in the production of accelerators for the rubber industry, but is also applicable in the pharmaceutical and agricultural industry. Tert Butylamine is an organic chemical compound (specifically, an amine) occurs as a colourless liquid. Tert Butylamine is one of the four isomeric amines of butane, the others being n butylamine, sec butylamine and isobutylamine. It is miscible with water and almost all conventional organic solvents.
Product characteristics
Appearance : Colourless liquid
Formula : (CH3)3CNH2
Molecular Weight : 73.1
Applications
The main application in this field is the use to synthesize 3-formyl tertbutylamine rifamycin, an intermediate of rifampicin for treatment of tuberculosis. Tert Butylamine can also be used to synthesize terbutalin, a quick-effect drug for bronchitis and asthma. Intermediate used in the production of: Agricultural chemicals, Rubber chemicals, Gas purification agents, Pharmaceuticals etc.
The main consumption of tert butylamine is the use as additive product forn ethylene oxide. Tert butylamine is a very important intermediate for making dyes, pesticides, and rubber additives. Tert Butylamine can be used as raw material to synthesize sulfa urea herbicide nicosulfuron. Nicosulfuron has an excellent effect of killing most annual and perennial graminaceous weeds and broad-leaved weeds.
Process
Tert-Butylamine may be prepared by the hydrogenolysis of 2,2 dimethylethylenimine, or via tert-butylphthalimide. The method used most often today is the methyl tert-butyl ether-hydrocyanic acid process. A process for the production of tertiary butylamine having a purity of at least 99.5% and being suited for use without further purification, the process comprising reacting isobutene and ammonia in the gaseous phase above a dealuminized silica alumina catalyst, wherein the catalyst is used in acid form, has a crystallinity of at least 95%, has an Na2 O content less than 0.2% by weight; and has a ratio of Si : Al greater than 12, and wherein the reaction occurs at a temperature of 200°-350° C., a pressure of 100-250 bar, and has a ratio of educt to catalyst of 5 to 60 moles/kg catalyst per hour.
Market scenario
Tert Butyl Amine is not presently produced in India and Indian import is around 450 metric tonnes per annum. It is one of the fine chemicals with the rapid development in recent years. As an important intermediate, tertbutylamine has a capacity of nearly 60000 t/a in the world and the actual output is around 40000 tons a year. Major producers are concentrated in the United States, Japan and Germany.
