2-Diethylaminoethyl Hexanoate is a compound found in soybean herbicidal safeners.

The production route for 2-diethylaminoethyl hexanoate is not available in open literature. However, its production route can be inferred from its chemical identity and structure. As an amine ester of hexanoic acid, production would probably follow the standard route used for fatty acid amine esters: manufacturers would start with hexanoic acid or hexanoyl chloride, react it with 2 diethylaminoethanol under acidic or catalytic esterification conditions, and then neutralise, wash, and purify the resulting ester.
