Diethylamine

Diethylamine anhydrous; N-Ethylethanamine

CAS 109-89-7

Chemical Formula C4H11N

Molecular Weight 73.14 g/mol

Diethylamine is a highly volatile and hygroscopic compound, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air. The alumina-catalyzed reaction makes diethylamine from ethanol and ammonia. Diethylamine is obtained together with ethylamine and triethylamine. Diethylamine is known for its strong reactivity with a wide range of substances, which makes it potentially dangerous when mixed or exposed to incompatible materials.
