Dibenzylamine is an organic compound with the formula (C₆H₅CH₂)₂NH. It is classified as a secondary amine, being the middle member of the series that includes the primary amine benzylamine (C₆H₅CH₂NH₂) and the tertiary amine tribenzylamine ((C₆H₅CH₂)₃N). It is a colorless oily substance with a faint ammonia-like odor. It is produced as a side product in the hydrogenation of benzonitrile:

2 C₆H₅CN + 4 H₂ → NH₃ + (C₆H₅CH₂)₂NH

Selected reactions

Amides derived from dibenzylamine are useful in organic synthesis. ^[1] Dibenzylamine is a typical substrate for C-N coupling reactions related to the Buchwald-Hartwig reaction. ^{[2] [3]}
