Diisopropylamine is a secondary aliphatic amine with the chemical formula (CH₃)₂CHNHCH(CH₃)₂. It is a colorless, flammable liquid and is highly volatile and hydrophobic. This compound is commonly used in organic synthesis, prized for its steric hindrance and reduced reactivity in side reactions.

A key industrial application of Diisopropylamine is agrochemical manufacturing and as an intermediate in the preparation of corrosion inhibitors, rubber chemicals, and vulcanization accelerators. Because of its volatility and reactivity, it must be handled with care in well-ventilated environments under safety protocols.
