Product type
Diethylamine is a colorless liquid with a strong ammonia-like odor, primarily used as a building block in organic synthesis. It is an aliphatic amine, which means it contains nitrogen atoms bonded to carbon atoms, and it is typically produced through the reaction of ammonia with ethylene oxide. Diethylamine is commonly utilized in the pharmaceutical industry as a key intermediate in the synthesis of various active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and fine chemicals.
