Description

General description

Ethylamine is a simple aliphatic primary amine used as a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis.

Application

Ethylamine solution (2.0 M in THF) can be used as a reagent:     

• In amination reactions.      
• To synthesize N-ethyl-4-hydroxybutanamide by reacting with γ-butyrolactone.      
• To prepare an anthracene-based tripodal chemosensor for the selective detection of Zn(II) ions.

Ethylamine solution can also be used as a reaction medium in the synthesis of large-scale flower-like CuS microspheres using Cu(S₂CNEt₂)₂ as a precursor.
