Uses

As the material has tertiary amine functionality, it finds use as a catalyst for polyurethane foam production.[3][4] The molecule has two secondary amines and thus can be used to cure epoxy resin based materials.[5] Other uses include as a propellant and also blowing agents. The amine functionality allows it to be used as an intermediate to synthesize other compounds.[6][7]
