Diisopropylamine is a secondary amine with the chemical formula (CH3)2HC-NH-CH(CH3)2. It is best known as its lithium salt, lithium diisopropylamide, known as "LDA". LDA is a strong, non-nucleophilic base.

Diisopropylamine can be dried by distillation over potassium hydroxide (KOH) or drying over sodium wire or sodium hydride (NaH) followed by distillation under N2 into a dry receiver.[1]

Diisopropylamine is also used for the synthesis of diisopropylethylamine (Hünig's base), by reaction with diethyl sulfate. [2]
