Diallylamine is the organic compound with the formula HN(CH2CH=CH2)2.

It is a colorless liquid with an ammonia-like odor.

It is multifunctional, featuring a secondary amine and two alkene groups.

Diallylamine is used in the production of N,N-diallyldichloroacetamide (dichlormid) and N,N-diallyldimethylammonium chloride.

[2] It is produced commercially by partial hydrogenation of acrylonitrile:[2] A laboratory route to diallylamine entails diallylation of calcium cyanamide followed by decyanation of the product.
