Application

Dimethylamine can be used:
  • In the preparation of 1-organyl-1-(trimethylsiloxy)-2-(dimethylamino)ethenes starting from α-bromo ketones.
  • In one of the key synthetic steps for the preparation of 1-methoxycarbonylpyrrolizin-3-one and its associated compounds.
  • Ni-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling of Katritzky pyridinium salts with bromoalkanes through C-N bond activation.
  • To synthesize tertiary amides which on reaction with Petasis reagent followed by bromination forms bromomethyl ketones.

Packaging

Supplied in a Sure/Pac™ cylinder and has a 316 stainless steel needle valve with a male 1/4" NPTF outlet thread installed . Before using the cylinder, ensure that the valve is closed, then remove the galvanized steel hex cap that seals the outlet valve.
