Diisopropylamine

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

Diisopropylamine can be dried by distillation from potassium hydroxide (KOH) or drying over sodium wire.
