Application

4,N,N-Trimethylaniline is a tertiary amine that can undergo iron-catalyzed oxidative C-C coupling with phenylacetylene and benzamide in the presence of tert-butylperoxide to form N,4-dimethyl-N-(3-phenylprop-2-ynyl)benzenamine and N-((methyl(p-tolyl)amino)methyl)benzamide, respectively.

The objective of this investigation was to analyze whether various combinations of the ROS scavengers glutathione (GSH), N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC), and vitamins C and E decrease DNA damage due to visible-light-irradiated (VL-irradiated) camphorquinone/N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine (CQ/DMT) compared with individual vitamin C or E.

Commercially available acrylic bone cements are two-component systems based on the polymerization of methyl methacrylate around poly(methyl methacrylate) particles. When benzoyl peroxide (BPO), which is the initiator, in the powder component meets accelerator (N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine (DMpT)) in the liquid component, radicals
