General description

4,N,N-Trimethylaniline is a N-methyl-N-alkylaniline. Its reaction with vinyl ether catalyzed by CuCl2 has been reported to afford tetrahydroquinolines. Its radical cation undergoes reaction with the anthracene radical anion and generation of electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) has been observed.

Application

  • Charge-transfer complexes for redox polymerization: 4,N,N-Trimethylaniline used for on-demand amine/peroxide redox polymerization. This research offers a new perspective on the use of 4,N,N-Trimethylaniline in creating controlled polymer structures, which is crucial for various industrial and pharmaceutical applications (Garra et al., 2018).

Electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) arising from the reaction of radical ions has previously be shown to arise from a variety of states including excited singlets, triplets, excimers, and exciplexes. In this work we describe two systems that form emissive states in

The polymerization initiators for resins cured using visible light usually consist of a photosensitizer, primarily camphorquinone (CQ), and a reducing agent, which is often a tertiary amine (DMPT, DMAEMA), while the initiator used for self-curing resins consists of benzoyl peroxide

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
