Oleylamine is an organic compound with a molecular formula C18H35NH2. It is an unsaturated fatty amine related to the fatty acid oleic acid. The pure compound is a clear and colorless liquid. Commercially available oleylamine reagents vary in colour from clear and colorless to varying degrees of yellow due to impurities. The major impurities include trans isomer (elaidylamine) and other long chain amines with varying chain lengths. Minor impurities include oxygen-containing substances such as amides and nitroalkanes.

==Chemical reactions== Oleylamine reacts with carboxylic acid to form its carboxylate salt through an exothermic reaction. Its carboxylate salt can further condensate into amides through the loss of one water molecule. In the presence of acetic acid, oleylamine forms with DNA insoluble complexes with the radii of the particles equal 60–65 nm.
