N,N-Diethylhydroxylamine
1. Basic Information
Name: N,N-Diethylhydroxylamine
Alias: DEHA, N,N-Diethyl-N-hydroxyethanamine
CAS No.: 3710-84-7
Molecular Formula: C?H??NO
Molecular Weight: 89.14
Category: Industrial oxygen scavenger, polymerization inhibitor, boiler water treatment agent, antioxidant, chemical synthesis reducing agent
2. Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Properties
- Appearance: Colorless transparent low-viscosity liquid
- Odor: Mild characteristic amine odor
- Solubility: Fully miscible with water, ethanol, methanol; soluble in acetone; slightly soluble in aliphatic hydrocarbons
- Boiling Point: 128–130 °C (760 mmHg)
- Density (20 °C): 0.898–0.904 g/cm3
- Refractive Index nD20: 1.420–1.424
- Flash Point: 45 °C
- Hygroscopy: Moderately hygroscopic, absorbs water vapor in humid air
- Aqueous property: Weakly alkaline hydroxylamine derivative; stable in neutral cold water; reacts with strong acid to form corresponding salts
Chemical Properties
- Molecular structure: Tertiary hydroxylamine with two ethyl groups attached to nitrogen, containing reactive N-OH functional group
- Oxygen scavenging performance: Strong reducing agent, rapidly reacts with dissolved oxygen in high-temperature boiler water to form harmless small molecules, prevents pipeline corrosion
- Polymerization inhibition: Captures free radicals, inhibits thermal polymerization of styrene, acrylic monomers and unsaturated resins during storage and distillation
- Oxidation susceptibility: Gradually oxidized by air; long-term exposure generates dark nitrogen oxide impurities
- Photostability: Light-sensitive; UV irradiation accelerates oxidative degradation and discoloration
- Thermal stability: Stable below 100 °C; excessive heating decomposes to release irritating amine and nitrogen oxide fumes
- Compatibility: Compatible with neutral water systems and most monomer raw materials; incompatible with strong oxidants, concentrated strong acid and heavy metal salts
3. Main Application Fields
