2,6-Diisopropylaniline acts as an intermediate used in the production of carbodiimides stabilizers, synthetic resins, antioxidants and active pharmaceutical ingredients. It is also used in the preparation of multitopic Schiff-base ligand precursors and 4,5-bis(2,6-diisopropylanilino)-2,7-di-tert-butyl-9,9-dimethylthioxanthene. It also undergoes condensation reaction with triacetylmethane to get -[1-(2,6-diisopropylphenylamino)ethylidene]pentane-2,4-dione. Further, it is used to prepare N-heterocyclic carbene complexes for alfa-arylation of acyclic ketones, amination of haloarenes and aqueous Suzuki coupling. In addition to this, it is used in the prepartion of organocatalyst based on naphthalene diimides.
