Overview

2-decylsulfanylethanamine hydrochloride (CAS 36362-09-1) is an organosulfur amine compound with surfactant properties and notable biological activity. This specialized chemical compound belongs to the family of alkylthioethylamines, featuring a ten-carbon alkyl chain attached to a sulfur-containing ethylamine backbone. The hydrochloride salt form enhances its stability and solubility characteristics, making it more suitable for industrial applications. With a molecular formula of C12H28ClNS and molecular weight of 253.88 g/mol, this compound exhibits unique amphiphilic properties due to its hydrophobic decyl chain and hydrophilic amine functionality. The compound presents significant safety considerations, classified with multiple hazard categories including serious eye damage (Eye Dam. 1), skin irritation (Skin Irrit. 2), and specific target organ toxicity following repeated exposure (STOT RE 2). Its environmental impact profile shows acute and chronic aquatic toxicity, requiring careful handling and disposal protocols. The Danger signal word and associated GHS pictograms (GHS08, GHS05, GHS09) emphasize the need for appropriate personal protective equipment and engineering controls during handling. Primary industrial applications include use as a specialized surfactant in formulations requiring long-chain alkyl functionality, as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, and in research applications investigating structure-activity relationships of bioactive amines. Unlike structurally different compounds such as 4,5,6,7-tetrachloro-2-benzofuran-1,3-dione, this amine derivative offers unique solubilization properties in both aqueous and organic systems. OYSI maintains reliable supply chains for this technical-grade compound, supporting European customers with comprehensive documentation and regulatory compliance support for specialized chemical applications.
