General description

2-(Dibutylamino)ethanol is a tertiary amine.

Application

2-(Dibutylamino)ethanol (DBAE) may be used as a coreactant to enhance the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of tris(2,2′-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) [Ru(bpy)32+], employed in the ECL immunoassays and DNA probe assays. DBAE may also be used as a catalyst during the synthesis of protected D-erythro-(2S,3R)-sphingosine.
