1,2-Dimorpholinoethane
Chemical compound
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
1,2-Dimorpholinoethane is an organic chemical and specifically a nitrogen-oxygen heterocyclic compound. At room temperature it is a solid with a melting point of 75 °C.[2] It has two tertiary amines in the same molecule meaning it is ideal for use as a polyurethane catalyst.[3] It has the CAS Registry Number 1723-94-0 and is TSCA and REACH registered and on EINECS with the number 217-026-5.[4] The IUPAC name is 4-(2-morpholin-4-ylethyl)morpholine and the chemical formula C10H20N2O2.[5]
