2-Chloro-
N,N-diethylethylamine hydrochloride can be used as an alkylating reagent for the synthesis of:
- Substituted oxindole derivatives to be used as growth hormone secretagogs.
- 1-Substituted-5,6-dinitrobenzimidazoles with antimicrobial and antiprotozoal activities.
- Thiophene containing triarylmethane (TRAM) derivatives to be used as antitubercular agents.
- Tris(2-(diethylamino)ethyl)amine to be used as a catalyst in combination with CuBr (Et6TREN/CuBr) for atom transfer radical polymerization of n-butyl acrylate.
It can also be used for the derivatization of chitosan to incorporate aminofunctionality onto it at C-6 position.
