Isobutyl amine is used as pharmaceutical intermediate.

Isobutyl amine may be used in the synthesis of N-i-butyl-9(Z),12(Z),15(Z)-octadecatrienamide by reacting with trilinolenin.
Isobutyl amine can also react with tropolone to form a hydrogen-bonded complex, iso-butyl-ammonium 7-oxo-cyclo-hepta-1,3,5-trien-1-olate.
Fullerene (C60) can undergo oxyamination with isobutylamine to form polyamines.

Isobutyl amine is a chemical compound that is used as a solvent and a reagent in organic synthesis.
Isobutyl amine undergoes a reaction with trifluoroacetic acid to generate an amide or nitro group.
The reaction mechanism of this process involves the formation of an intermediate carbocation, which reacts with the nucleophile trifluoroacetic acid to form the product. The product then undergoes hydrolysis to regenerate the initial starting material.
This process can be followed by titration calorimetry, kinetic data, and analytical methods such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
Isobutylamine has been shown to have promising applications in autoimmune diseases by activating cb2 receptors, which are involved in inflammatory responses and pain perception.

Isobutyl amine is a member of the chemical class known as Alkylamines.
These are organic compounds containing an alkylamine group.

Isobutyl amine occurs as a colorless to yellow, clear liquid having a characteristic odor.
