Do hydrochloride salts of amines absorb moisture?
« on: October 31, 2007, 09:21:10 AM »
Recently i synthesized hydrochloride salts of few amines. some of them absorb moisture but some others dont. can any one suggest a possible explanation why this is so?

thanx

All salts are hygroscopic to some extent.  With amine salts you may not be absorbing water in the compound, you may be losing your ionic salt and converting back to the free amine.
