· c. Removal of an amine Depending on the chain length, amines might or might not be soluble in water i.e., propylamine is miscible with water (log K ow =0.48), triethylamine displays a limited solubility at room temperature (17 g/100 mL, log K ow =1.44), while tributylamine hardly dissolves at all (0.37 g/100 mL, log K ow =4.60). ). Amines are basic and can be converted to ammonium salts using ...
