Description

General description

Triethylamine hydrochloride can be used as a:

• Catalyst to synthesize diphenylmethane via Friedel-Crafts reaction of benzene with benzyl chloride.
• Reactant in the ionic liquid-catalyzed synthesis of quaternary ammonium salts with dialkyl carbonates.

It can also be used as a proton donor:

• For the titanocene (III)-catalyzed intramolecular ring-opening arylation of epoxides.
• In intramolecular Kinugasa reaction to synthesize β-lactams.
