AC-15559 - nnnn-tetraethylethylenediamine-99 | 150-77-6

N,N,N',N'-Tetraethylethylenediamine is a chemical compound that is used in the production of polyurethane. It can be synthesized from ethylenediamine by reaction with a trialkyl orthoformate and an acid catalyst. This chemical has a hydroxyl group and two asymmetric nitrogen atoms. The steric interactions between the hydrogen atom on the nitrogen atom and the three methyl groups on one carbon atom are responsible for its kinetic data. Tetraethylethylenediamine has been shown to react with copper complexes to form new palladium complexes. These reactions are catalyzed by serine proteases such as subtilisin and pepsin. N,N,N',N'-Tetraethylethylenediamine is also used as a cross-linking agent in polyurethanes. Cross-linked polyurethanes have improved mechanical properties and resistance to abrasion compared
