INTRODUCTION
Tridodecylamine is a tertiary fatty amine. Its structure depicts 3 long carbon chains. They are responsible for the hydrophobic nature of the molecule and its hierarchy of applications. It is naturally found in Bos taurus and has a role as rat / mouse metabolite.
Manufacture
The product is manufactured in a condensation process involving dodecanol and ammonia. Some processes use dodecyl bromide.

Mercuric ammonium chloride, also called white precipitate, is a heavy white odourless amorphous compound used in external treatment of skin diseases and to destroy lice.
Stannic chloride pentahydrate is a tin source compatible with chlorides. Biologically, it induces a slight inhibition in the catalytic activity of the enzyme horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase (HLADH).
Calcium butyrate is an off-white coloured calcium salt and is highly soluble in water. It is stable under normal pressure and temperature. It is used in food supplements and animal feeds. It is also used as a coloring and flavoring agent.
Caffeine (anhydrous) is a naturally occurring methylxanthine derivative used as a CNS stimulant, to restore mental alertness and wakefulness in patients experiencing fatigue or drowsiness.
4-Methoxypyridine, a molecule with ether function, is a reactive base. Its nitrogen atom is activated by the methoxy group. It renders the molecule active and thus 4-methoxypyrimidine participates in many chemical processes. Its uses are in intermediates, in synthesis of biologically active moieties, and in proteomic research.
Ammonium acetate is a crystalline white solid with a somewhat acetous odour. It is also called the spirit of Mindererus in its aqueous form or Azanium acetate. It is widely used in chemical analysis, in preserving foods, and in pharmaceuticals. It is often used to prepare buffer solutions as it is made up of a weak base and a weak acid combined together.
2,6-Lutidine is a liquid product and a semi-volatile compound naturally abundant in tobacco. Its main applications is as reagent in pharmaceuticals and as a solvent in chemical processes.
Dimethylthiocarbamoyl Chloride is an organosulfur compound, a yellow solid. It is often encountered as a yellow syrup. It is a key reagent in the synthesis of arylthiols via the Newman-Kwart rearrangement.
Tetrafluorobenzyl bromide (TFBB), by virtue of presence of 5 fluorine atoms, is a strong electrophile and hence readily combines with nucleophiles. This property results in its extensive usage in derivatization gas chromatography. Commercially, PFBB is applied to make the corresponding alcohol and chloride.
