N,N-Dicyclohexylmethylamine(CAT: R061399) is a bulky, hydrophobic tertiary amine (C₁₃H₂₅N) featuring two cyclohexyl groups and one methyl group bonded to the nitrogen atom. Its strong steric hindrance and basicity make it a useful non-nucleophilic base in organic synthesis, particularly in reactions where minimal side reactions are desired, such as acylations, alkylations, and condensations. It is also employed as an auxiliary base in catalytic systems and as an additive in polymer and material synthesis. The cyclohexyl groups enhance its solubility in nonpolar solvents, allowing compatibility with diverse reaction conditions.
