High-Purity Organic Base for Synthesis, Solvent Systems, and Analytical Chemistry
VWR Triethylamine ((C₂H₅)₃N) is a high-purity, volatile tertiary amine with an assay of ≥99%, supplied under the GPR RECTAPUR® label. This strong organic base is widely used in organic synthesis, acid scavenging, and chromatographic applications, particularly as a catalyst, neutralizing agent, or mobile phase additive.
Due to its flammability, corrosiveness, and irritant properties, triethylamine should be handled in well-ventilated laboratories using standard chemical safety protocols.
