2,6-Diisopropylaniline

2,6-Diisopropylaniline is an organic compound with the formula H₂NC₆H₃(CHMe₂)₂ (Me = CH₃). It is a colorless liquid although, like many anilines, samples can appear yellow or brown. 2,6-Diisopropylaniline is a bulky aromatic amine that is often used to make ligands in coordination chemistry. The Schrock carbenes often are transition metal imido complexes derived from this aniline.^[1] Condensation with diacetylpyridine and acetylacetone gives, respectively, diiminopyridine^[2] and NacNac ligands.^[3]
