Description

N,N-Diethyl-1,3-diaminopropane (DEET) is a compound that has been used as an insect repellent. It is a low molecular weight aliphatic amine, with two amino groups and two ethylene diamine groups. The transport properties of DEET are due to its high solubility in aromatic solvents and its lack of reactivity. It is highly soluble in water and glycol ethers. DEET's reaction mechanism begins with the nucleophilic attack of the amine on the carbonyl carbon atom in trifluoroacetic acid, forming an intermediate tautomeric form. The nucleophilic attack by the amine on the carbonyl carbon atom in trifluoroacetic acid leads to a tetrahedral intermediate which undergoes a second nucleophilic attack by hydroxide ion from hydrochloric acid, forming an intermediate tautomeric form.
