The straw color is due to the presence of impurities resulting from amine oxidation, not due to the compound (hexylamine) itself which is colorless.).

Hexylamine or n-hexylamine is a chemical compound with the formula CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2NH2. This colorless liquid is one of the isomeric amines of hexane. At standard temperature and pressure, it has the ammonia/bleach odor common to amines and is soluble in almost all organic solvents.

Applications

Hexylamine is primarily of interest in surfactants, pesticides, corrosion inhibitors, dyes, rubber, emulsifiers, and pharmaceuticals.[2]
