| General description: | Triethylamine is a tertiary amine. It has been reported as a promising precipitating reagent for phosphomolybdic acid. Et3N/formic acid system has been used for the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of methoxy-substituted derivatives. Triethylamine is a strong base and precipitating agent widely used in Heck reaction and to prepare esters and amides from acyl chlorides. |
