Neutralization of this salt regenerates the free amine which can be distilled under high vacuum.

It is very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects.

A formulation containing metoxuron mixed with an emulsion containing trioctylamine 50%, atlox 4851 B 15%, and isopropanol 35% was active as a potato defoliant.

Trioctylamine can be used to extract monocarboxylic acid for equilibria and correlation of apparent reactive equilibrium constant.

The loading of trioctylamine for a given carboxylic acid depends on the nature of the solute and its concentration.
