Application

N,N-Dimethylethylenediamine is a bidentate ligand that can be used:
  • To synthesize Schiff base ligands to prepare their zinc alkyl and zinc alkoxide complexes that initiate ring-opening polymerization of lactides.
  • As a ligand to prepare copper azido polymers.
  • In the synthesis of naphthalimides such as amonafide, an antitumor agent.
  • As the receptor in building fluorescent signaling systems to perturb the photoinduced intramolecular electron transfer (PET) process from the nitrogen lone-pair to the fluorophore.
