Application

(R)-(−)-sec-Butylamine can be used:
  • To prepare (R)-(−)-sec-butylbis(2-hydroxyethyl)amine, an intermediate for the synthesis of aminodiphosphine ligands.
  • As a substrate to demonstrate the stereochemistry of Mitsunobu reaction in the synthesis of secondary amines.
  • As a model compound in the study of singlet-triplet transitions in circular dichroism.
