2-ethyl-N,N-dimethylhexylamine - Introduction
N,N-DIMETHYL-2-ETHYLHEXYLAMINE(N,N-DIMETHYL-2-ETHYLHEXYLAMINE, abbreviated as DEHA) is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor. Its molecular formula is C10H23N and its molecular weight is 157.30g/mol.
DEHA is a weakly alkaline substance that dissolves rapidly in water. It can react with acids to form salt compounds. Because of its amine and ether groups, DEHA is able to react chemically with a wide range of compounds. Because of this nature, DEHA is widely used in many fields.
DEHA is used as a solvent in organic synthesis, and can act as a catalyst and reducing agent in the synthesis of catalysts and ligands. It can also be used as a component of solvent extractants and blowing agents. In addition, DEHA can also be used as an alternative to ethanolamine for the removal of carbon dioxide, sulfides and sulfates.
A common method for preparing DEHA is through the condensation reaction of hexanoic acid with dimethylamine and ethanol. The specific preparation steps can be adjusted according to the required purity and scale.
Regarding safety, DEHA is irritating and corrosive and should avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucous membranes. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and goggles during use. If inhaled or ingested, seek medical attention immediately.
