| Application: | 2-(Diethylamino)ethanol (DEEA) can be used as a co-solvent with methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) and sulfolane to investigate the CO2 absorption and desorption behavior in aqueous solutions. Additionally, DEAE is used to prepare N-substituted glycine derivatives and these compounds are used in the synthesis of peptides and proteins. |
| General description: | 2-(Diethylamino)ethanol (DEEA) is a tertiary alkanolamine multi-component aqueous solvent. It has a high chemical stability and resistance against degradation. DEEA is used to prepare quaternary ammonium salts. These salts are widely used as phase transfer catalysts to promote reactions between immiscible phases. |
