Introduction
Dimethylamine is a colorless gas with an ammonia odor. The following is an introduction to the properties, uses, preparation methods and safety information of dimethylamine:Quality:Appearance: colorless gas, soluble in water, can react with inorganic acids and inorganic bases.Odor: Similar to ammonia, it is highly irritating and corrosive.Stability: Relatively stable and not easy to decompose at room temperature.Use:Industrial use: Dimethylamine is mainly used as a solvent and extractant for the synthesis of dyes, resins, softeners and chemical intermediates, among others.Preparation method:Dimethylamine can be prepared by the catalytic reaction of isopropylamine and formaldehyde, and the isopropyl alcohol produced in the reaction is further reacted to form dimethylamine.Another preparation method is through the reaction of ammonia and formaldehyde to produce a condensate containing dimethylamine, which is then hydrolyzed to obtain dimethylamine by dehydration acidification.Safety Information:Dimethylamine is irritating and corrosive, avoiding contact with skin, eyes, and mucous membranes.Avoid inhaling the smell of dimethylamine as it is more irritating.When using dimethylamine, appropriate protective equipment such as gloves, protective glasses and goggles should be worn.A well-ventilated environment should be maintained when storing and handling dimethylamine.
