CAS 10369-83-2: 2-Diethylaminoethyl hexanoate

2-Diethylaminoethyl hexanoate (DEH) is a fatty acid with terminal residues. It has been shown to have insecticidal properties, and is used as an analytical marker for sodium citrate. DEH has been shown to be reactive in nutrient solution, with optimum concentrations at 0.03% in aqueous solutions and 0.1% in organic solvents. When DEH is added to the culture medium of cells, it has the effect of increasing enzyme activities and cellular organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts. This compound also has a photosynthetic activity that can be used as a low-light source for plants, which can help prevent seedling photodamage.

Applications 2-Diethylaminoethyl Hexanoate is a compound found in soybean herbicidal safeners. References Jin, G., et al.: Faming Zhuanli Shenqing, CN 106889062 (2017);
