Description

Diethylamine hydrochloride acts as a precursor of atrazine and lysergic acid diethylamide. It is also used as a reactant in the production of dyes and pharmaceutical compounds such as ranitidine. Further, it is used in Mannich reaction with paraformaldehyde. In addition to this, it is employed in the synthesis of diethylaminoethyl (DEAE) cottons by reacting with cotton cellulose in the presence of sodium hydroxide.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
