N-Benzyldimethylamine, 98+%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

N,N-Dimethylbenzylamine is used in the preparation of bis[(N,N-dimethylamino)benzyl] selenide. It acts as a catalyst in the curing reaction of formulations of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A and tetrahydrophthalic anhydride. It undergoes directed ortho metalation with butyl lithium. It reacts with methyl iodide to get ammonium salt, which is used as phase transfer catalysts. Further, it is used as a catalyst for the formation of polyurethane foams and epoxy resins.
