N-Ethylhexanamide, also called N-ethylcaproamide, CAS 13092-79-0, is a carboxylic acid amide with molecular formula C₈H₁₇NO and molecular weight 143.23 g/mol. N-Ethylhexanamide may be evaluated as a synthesis intermediate or polar organic medium, but commercial suitability should be determined from lot-specific identity, assay, water, acidity and impurity data together with application testing.

Applications and grade selection
N-Ethylhexanamide may be screened as an amide intermediate, reaction medium or specialty solvent component where its polarity and hydrogen-bonding behavior are useful. Broad solvent or formulation claims require actual data for solvency, compatibility, recovery, odor, residue and downstream quality.
- Confirm CAS 13092-79-0 and the N-ethylhexanamide structure when matching material to the intended process.
- Set limits for water, acidity, residual amine or acyl precursors and route-critical impurities.
- Evaluate reaction or solvent performance in the buyer’s actual process before scale-up.
Storage and handling
Keep the material in a sealed compatible container under the temperature, moisture and light conditions stated in the current documentation. Prevent contamination with acids, bases, oxidizers and other incompatible process materials.
Safety, documentation and procurement
Handle with suitable gloves, eye protection and ventilation according to the current SDS. A quotation request should state the intended use, required methods and limits, sample or project quantity, packaging, destination and documentation.
FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Is N-Ethylhexanamide the same substance as hexanamide or N,N-diethylhexanamide?
A: No. N-Ethylhexanamide, CAS 13092-79-0, has one ethyl substituent and one hydrogen on the amide nitrogen. Hexanamide has no N-ethyl group, while N,N-diethylhexanamide has two. Confirm the full name, structure, CAS number and identity method before approving a material match. -
Q:
What information should accompany an N-Ethylhexanamide inquiry?
A: State the intended synthesis or formulation use, required GC assay, water, acidity, color or appearance and any named related-amide or isomer limits. Include quantity and packing requirements, then review the offered test method and batch COA before treating the material as equivalent to an existing source.
