Шаблон:Correct title Шаблон:Chembox 2-[2-(Dimethylamino)ethoxy]ethanol is an organic compound with the molecular formula C6H15NO2 and is a liquid at room temperature. Dimethylaminoethoxyethanol is polyfunctional, having a tertiary amine, ether and hydroxyl functionality. Like other organic amines, it acts as a weak base.

Manufacture

Dimethylaminoethoxyethanol is manufactured by reacting dimethylamine and ethylene oxide.[1] Other methods are also available producing streams rich in the substance which then need to be further purified.[2]

Uses

As dimethylaminoethoxyethanol is weakly basic,[3] it has been studied as a method of absorbing Greenhouse gases and in particular carbon dioxide.[4][5][6][7]

Dimethylaminoethoxyethanol is used extensively in surfactants which have also been evaluated as corrosion inhibitors.[8] Surfactants prepared are usually cationic and may also be used as a biocide.[9] This is particularly important for oilfield applications against Sulfate-reducing microorganisms.

The material has other uses which include:

  • General such as clays, intermediates, plasticizers and adhesives.[10]
  • As a catalyst and especially for polyurethanes.[11][12]
  • Process regulators
  • Propellants and blowing agents

Toxicity

The toxicity of dimethylaminoethoxyethanol has been extensively studied.[13]
