Oleylamine is an organic compound with a molecular formula C18H35NH2.[1] It is an unsaturated fatty amine related to the fatty acid oleic acid. The pure compound is a clear and colorless liquid. Commercially available oleylamine reagents[2][3][4][5][6] vary in colour from clear and colorless to varying degrees of yellow due to impurities. The major impurities include trans isomer (elaidylamine) and other long chain amines with varying chain lengths.[7] Minor impurities include oxygen-containing substances such as amides and nitroalkanes.[7]
