Diethylenetriamine (abbreviated DETA and also known as 2,2’-Iminodi(ethylamine)[2]) is an organic compound with the formula HN(CH2CH2NH2)2. This colourless hygroscopic liquid is soluble in water and polar organic solvents, but not simple hydrocarbons. Diethylenetriamine is structural analogue of diethylene glycol. Its chemical properties resemble those for ethylene diamine, and it has similar uses. It is a weak base and its aqueous solution is alkaline.  DETA is a by product of the production of ethylenediamine from ethylene dichloride.

Diethylenetriamine is a yellow liquid with an ammonia-like odor. Less dense than water. Corrosive to metals and tissue. Vapors heavier than air. Burns, although possibly difficult to igntie. Toxic oxides of nitrogen produced during combustion. Used as a solvent for plastics and dyes and in chemical synthesis. Boiling Point 207 DEG C @ 760 MM HG, Melting Point -39 DEG C, Flash Point 101.7 deg C (Open cup), water solubility 1000 mg/mL.
