TMA(TRIMETHYLAMINE) - Names and Identifiers
TMA(TRIMETHYLAMINE) - Introduction
TMA(TRIMETHYLAMINE), also known as TRIMETHYLAMINE, with the chemical formula (CH3)3N, is an organic compound. The following is a brief introduction to the nature, use, preparation and safety information of TMA(TRIMETHYLAMINE):
Nature:
1. Appearance: TMA(TRIMETHYLAMINE) is a colorless gas or volatile liquid soluble in water.
2. Smell: with a strong ammonia smell.
3. Density: the relative density is small, slightly lighter than water.
4. Melting Point: About -118 ℃, boiling point is about 2.9 ℃.
5. Flammability: flammable, but does not support combustion.
Use:
1. Chemical Synthesis: TMA(TRIMETHYLAMINE) can be used as a reagent for organic synthesis reactions and is commonly used in the preparation of compounds such as Tetramethylammonium salts.
2. Cleaning agent: TMA(TRIMETHYLAMINE) can be used as an ingredient in cleaning agent for cleaning, decontamination and disinfection.
3. Surfactant: TMA(TRIMETHYLAMINE) has the properties of surfactant, often added to some drugs and personal care products, such as shampoo, soap and so on.
Method:
TMA(TRIMETHYLAMINE) can be obtained by methylating amine compounds. The common synthesis method is to react methyl halide (such as methyl magnesium bromide) with amine. Under the reaction conditions, the methyl ion of the methyl halide reacts with the amine to give TMA(TRIMETHYLAMINE).
Safety Information:
1. TMA (trimethyline) has a pungent odor, and exposure to high concentrations of TMA (trimethyline) can cause eye, skin and respiratory tract irritation.
2. TMA(TRIMETHYLAMINE) is a flammable liquid and should be avoided in contact with open flames or high temperature sources.
3. Pay attention to a well-ventilated environment during use or storage to prevent its concentration from exceeding the acceptable range.
4. When using TMA(TRIMETHYLAMINE), wear protective gloves, goggles and other personal protective equipment to prevent contact with skin or eyes.
It should be noted that the use and handling of chemicals should follow correct operating procedures and refer to relevant safety data sheets and operating instructions.
