Diethylamine hydrochloride Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

white to off-white crystals or crystalline powder

Uses

Diethylamine hydrochloride acts as a precursor of atrazine and lysergic acid diethylamide. It is also used as a reactant in the production of dyes and pharmaceutical compounds such as ranitidine. Further, it is used in Mannich reaction with paraformaldehyde. In addition to this, it is employed in the synthesis of diethylaminoethyl (DEAE) cottons by reacting with cotton cellulose in the presence of sodium hydroxide.

Flammability and Explosibility

Not classified

Purification Methods

Crystallise salt from absolute EtOH. Also crystallise it from dichloroethane/MeOH. Hygroscopic. [Beilstein 4 III 113.]
