Chemical Properties
CLEAR COLORLESS TO LIGHT YELLOW LIQUID
Uses
N,N-Diethylethylenediamine was used in the oxidative amidation of hydrogen phosphonate diesters in the synthesis of oligonucleotides. It is also used to develop melanin targeted PET and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging agents for melanoma.
Uses
N,N-Diethylethylenediamine is used in the syntheses of anti-malarials. In addition, it has been seem to induce apoptosis through a caspase-3 dependent pathway.
Flammability and Explosibility
Flammable
Safety Profile
Poison by
intraperitoneal route. Moderately toxic by
ingestion and skin contact. A slun and
severe eye irritant. Flammable liquid when
exposed to heat or flame; can react with
oxidzing materials. To fight fire, use alcohol
foam, CO2, dry chemical. When heated to
decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx.
