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.

Using a method for nitrosamine analysis that gives high recovery values and that is free from artifactual synthesis of nitrosamines, we have shown that human feces do not contain volatile nitrosamines (detection limit, 0.1 to 0.5 microgram/kg). We also showed
