Application

4,N,N-Trimethylaniline is a tertiary amine that can undergo iron-catalyzed oxidative C-C coupling with phenylacetylene and benzamide in the presence of tert-butylperoxide to form N,4-dimethyl-N-(3-phenylprop-2-ynyl)benzenamine and N-((methyl(p-tolyl)amino)methyl)benzamide, respectively.

Resin composites are widely used in dentistry, and are polymerized in situ using a blue-light activated, free-radical polymerization mechanism. Blue light (400-500nm) is used to activate camphoroquinone (CQ), which decomposes to form free radicals that are stabilized by dimethyl-p-toludine (DMPT).

There is an increasing need to develop new biomaterials as tissue engineering scaffolds. Unfortunately, many of the materials that have been studied for these purposes are polyesters that hydrolytically degrade into acidic products, which may harm the surrounding tissue, and

Commercially available acrylic bone cements are two-component systems based on the polymerization of methyl methacrylate around poly(methyl methacrylate) particles. When benzoyl peroxide (BPO), which is the initiator, in the powder component meets accelerator (N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine (DMpT)) in the liquid component, radicals
