Application

N, N, N′, N′-Tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED) can be used as a reagent:
  • Along with sodium perborate and sodium bicarbonate for the oxidation of primary aliphatic amines to aliphatic C-nitroso compounds.
  • In combination with sodium percarbonate to deliver peracetic acid in situ for Baeyer-Villiger oxidation.

It can also be used as a peroxide bleach activator in laundry detergents and in textile chemistry applications.
