Talk:Diisopropylamine

Also called diisopropanolamine?[edit]

Just checking (my chemistry is rusty): Diisopropylamine is the same as diisopropanolamine, right? --Chriswaterguy talk 05:07, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, wasn't thinking straight... I guess diisopropanolamine would have -OH groups on the propyl groups, but otherwise be the same as diisopropylamine? --Chriswaterguy talk 05:14, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

acidity / basicity[edit]

One of the values given in the table cannot be right. I guess it's the one for the basicity.

If the acidity means the ability of (i-Pr)₂NH to donate a proton, then the given value of 40 is plausible because the conjugate base (i-Pr)₂N^- is a very strong base. But the basicity pKb - which I understand as the ability of i-Pr₂NH to be itself protonated to (i-Pr)₂NH₂⁺ - cannot be 54, that value means it is almost impossible to protonate it. Even if 5,4 is meant (lost the comma), this value still appears too high to me, as such amines typically have pKb values of 3-4. --79.243.243.156 (talk) 23:02, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
