Dimethylamine is an organic compound with the formula (CH 3) 2 NH. This secondary amine is a colorless, flammable gas with an ammonia -like odor. Dimethylamine is commonly encountered commercially as a solution in water at concentrations up to around 40%.
N,N-Dimethylethylamine (DMEA), sometimes referred to as dimethylethylamine, is an organic compound with formula (CH 3) 2 NC 2 H 5.It is an industrial chemical that is mainly used in foundries as a catalyst for epoxy resins and polyurethane as well as sand core production.
NDMA forms from a variety of dimethylamine-containing compounds, e.g. hydrolysis of dimethylformamide. Dimethylamine is susceptible to oxidation to unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine, which air-oxidizes to NDMA. [15] In the laboratory, NDMA can be synthesised by the reaction of nitrous acid with dimethylamine: HONO + (CH 3) 2 NH → (CH 3) 2 NNO ...
Methylamine has been produced industrially since the 1920s (originally by Commercial Solvents Corporation for dehairing of animal skins). [4] This was made possible by Kazimierz Smoleński [] and his wife Eugenia who discovered amination of alcohols, including methanol, on alumina or kaolin catalyst after WWI, filed two patent applications in 1919 [5] and published an article in 1921.
DMA is prepared commercially by the reaction of dimethylamine with acetic anhydride or acetic acid. Dehydration of the salt of dimethylamine and acetic acid also furnishes this compound: [5] CH 3 CO 2 H·HN(CH 3) 2 → H 2 O + CH 3 CON(CH 3) 2. Dimethylacetamide can also be produced by the reaction of dimethylamine with methyl acetate. [6]
Tris(dimethylamino)methane is a clear, colorless or pale yellow liquid with a strong ammoniacal odor. The compound is freely miscible with many non-polar aprotic and water-free solvents.
N,N-DMPEA has been found to be safe for use as a flavoring agent by the Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association (FEMA) Expert Panel [7] and also by the Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) [8] —a collaboration between the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization.
