Can DIPEA replace triethylamine (TEA)?

Yes. DIPEA and Triethylamine (TEA) both serve as organic tertiary bases and are used interchangeably in many standard applications. DIPEA has greater steric hindrance and fewer side reactions, making it suitable for high-precision synthetic applications. Triethylamine has less steric hindrance and is more prone to side reactions, but it is cheaper.
