Executive summary:

N,N-dimethyl-1-phenylmethanamine has a pKa value of 8.91 (Perrin, 1965).

Description of key information

Benzyldimethylamine has a measured pKa value of 8.91 (conductometric method; published literature, Perrin, 1965).


Under environmentally-relevant pH range of 5 to 9, the ionised species N+ will be the main form below the pKa, between 100% and 90% up to pKa-1 = 7,9. In alkaline media (pH 8-9) a mixture of both ionised and non-ionised forms will be present. The non-ionised form will not exist >90% in natural conditions.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

pKa at 20°C:
8.91

Additional information

A reliable publicly available data source reports an experimentally measured dissociation constant for the substance. Therefore it was considered as key.
