General description

1,1,4,7,10,10-Hexamethyltriethylenetetramine is a polyamines additive, has been reported as an efficient reagent for the problematic Koenigs-Knorr glucuronidation.

Application

1,1,4,7,10,10-Hexamethyltriethylenetetramine may be used as reagent in the synthesis of ideal linear random copolymers containing both vinyl polymer and polyester units in a single polymer chain. 1,1,4,7,10,10-Hexamethyltriethylenetetramine complexed with CuBr constitutes catalytic complex, used in the copolymerization of poly[ε-caprolactone] with N,N-dimethylamino-2-ethyl methacrylate monomers by atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). It may be used as catalyst in the aqueous surface-initiated-ATRP to grow poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) (PDMA).
