High-Purity N,N,N',N'-Tetramethylethylenediamine CAS 110-18-9 from Aure Chemical: Stable Supply & Compliance

N,N,N',N'-Tetramethylethylenediamine (CAS 110-18-9), commonly referred to as TMEDA or TEMED, is a tertiary diamine that functions as both a strong ligand for metal ions and an effective accelerator in free-radical polymerization reactions. Its bidentate structure allows it to form stable complexes with various metals, facilitating numerous synthetic transformations in organic and organometallic chemistry. Aure Chemical supplies this technical-grade material to laboratories, polymer manufacturers, and specialty chemical producers seeking a reliable source for consistent performance.

The compound is particularly valued in biochemistry for its role in initiating polyacrylamide gel formation when used alongside ammonium persulfate. It also serves as a versatile building block in the synthesis of more complex nitrogen-containing molecules. Its clear liquid form and favorable handling characteristics make it suitable for a range of industrial and research applications where precise control of reaction initiation or metal coordination is required.
