Anhydride Dialkoxyamine Quench
« on: August 08, 2014, 09:51:56 AM »
I'm looking to run an experiment with an acid anhydride and diethanolamine. I understand that this will produce an exotherm and wanted to know if there is anything that I can drop in to quench the reaction if it gets out of hand! Not too bothered if I can't recover the RM's...

Cheers

Conceptually, anything that will quench the amine should slow/quench the reaction.  I'm not sure if adding a salt that can complex ethanolamine will do the trick?  Are you looking to stop the reaction just in case it gets too hot or for some analytical procedure?  If it's just in case, I'd suggest just diluting it in solvent.

Just something to kill the reaction, safety first! Thanks

Just keep control of the reaction temperature and the addition rate of the diethanolamine and you will be ok. Adjust the rate of addition so that you can maintain a temperature, say 10°C. Make sure it does not get too cold or the reaction may stop, and when you warm it it will suddenly restart.
