Description

General description

Ethylamine, also known as ethanamine is commonly employed as a precursor in the synthesis of organic compounds. It is a corrosive primary amine, which is found naturally in many vegetables and fruits. It is also present as a constituent of tobacco smoke. Ethylamine is known to affect the lungs and kidney when a person is exposed to it.

Application

Ethylamine can be used as a reagent:

• In the hydroamination reaction to prepare ethylamine derivatives by addition reaction with alkynes using the Ind₂TiMe₂ catalyst.
• To prepare Schiff base ligands, which are reacted with various metal cations to obtain mono- or binuclear ethylamine metal complexes.
• To synthesize ethylamine-modified montmorillonite, which is used as a novel material for the removal of radiocesium from radioactive wastewater.

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.
