Description
Diethylamine (DEA) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C4H11N. It is a colorless, volatile liquid with an ammonia-like odor. DEA is primarily used as a precursor in the production of various chemicals, including pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and rubber accelerators. It also serves as a reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in the formation of amides, esters, and other nitrogen-containing compounds. Additionally, DEA is used as a corrosion inhibitor, fuel additive, and solvent in some industrial processes.
