Dicyclohexylamine
Dicyclohexylamine (CAS: 101-83-7) is a secondary amine with the linear formula (C6H11)2NH and a molecular weight of 181.32 g/mol. This compound is recognised for its utility as a chemical building block and in synthesis applications. It is primarily used in the development of novel catalysts, as an extractant in analytical chemistry, and in the formulation of ionic liquids for specialised analysis.

Ionic Liquid Matrices for Mass Spectrometry
Dicyclohexylamine has been employed in the creation of ionic liquid matrices. These matrices are specifically utilised for the analysis of bacterial samples within matrix assisted laser desorption/ionisation mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) techniques.
Palladium Catalysis for Suzuki Coupling
The compound serves as a component in the development of new palladium catalysts. These catalysts are designed to facilitate the Suzuki coupling reaction, a crucial process for forming carbon-carbon bonds between aryl bromides and boronic acids.
Gold(III) Extraction
Dicyclohexylamine functions as an effective extractant in analytical procedures. It is used in dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction coupled with electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry for the precise determination of gold(III) ions.
