Tris(2-aminoethyl)amine, 97%

Description

CAS: 4097-89-6 | C6H18N4 | 146.238 g/mol

Tris(2-aminoethyl)amine is a tetradentate chelating ligand and forms stable complexes with transition metals. It is also used as a carbon dioxide absorbent. Further, it acts as a reagent for cleavage of the fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) group in peptide synthesis. It reacts with aryl isocyanates and isothiocyanates to give tris-urea and -thiourea derivatives.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
