Which N-Ethylhexanamide specifications should be agreed?

Specify identity, GC or HPLC assay, water, residual hexanoic acid, ethylamine-related impurities, residual solvents, color and any route-specific by-products relevant to downstream use.

Can N-Ethylhexanamide be matched for an existing synthesis or formulation?

Yes, subject to specification review. Compare the proposed batch in the intended process for solubility, conversion or formulation behavior and downstream impurity impact before routine supply.

How should N-Ethylhexanamide be distinguished from isomeric or differently substituted amides?

Confirm the N-ethyl substitution and six-carbon acyl chain with structure-specific NMR or mass-spectral data, then use chromatography to control starting amine, hexanoic-acid derivatives and route impurities. A generic amide name is insufficient.

N-Ethylhexanamide CAS 13092-79-0

N-Ethylhexanamide , also known as N-ethylcaproamide , is identified by CAS 13092-79-0 . Its molecular formula is C8H17NO and molecular weight is 143.23 g/mol. The previously displayed CAS 2718-42-5 belongs to 1,1-dichloro-2,2-dimethoxypropane and does not match this amide. 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.

CAS: 13092-79-0
Synonyms: N-Ethylhexanamide, N-Ethylcaproamide, Hexanamide N-ethyl-, N-Ethylhexanoylamide
Molecular Formula: C₈H₁₇NO
Grade: Confirm identity, assay method, water or residual solvents, product-specific impurities and physical form against the current COA; no end-use grade is assumed.
Package: State required quantity and destination; confirm the current container, light or moisture protection, net weight, storage conditions and transport requirements against the current COA and SDS.

Identity and physicochemical profile

Item	Technical guidance
Correct identity	N-Ethylhexanamide; N-ethylcaproamide
CAS number	13092-79-0
Formula / molecular weight	C₈H₁₇NO / 143.23 g/mol
Corrected conflict	CAS 2718-42-5 identifies 1,1-dichloro-2,2-dimethoxypropane, C₅H₁₀Cl₂O₂, not N-Ethylhexanamide
Key purchase controls	Identity, chromatographic assay, water, acidity, residual ethylamine or hexanoic derivatives, color and physical form

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 the corrected CAS and distinguish the amide from N-ethylhexylamine and other similarly named materials.
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.
