N-Ethylmethylamine is a compound that is used in the preparation of fatty acid methyl esters, which are used as biomarkers for assessing lipid metabolism. It has also been shown to be an effective antimicrobial agent against bacteria, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. N-Ethylmethylamine interacts with membranes by binding to phospholipids and amines. The mechanism of this interaction is not fully understood, but it may be due to steric interactions or hydrogen bonding. N-Ethylmethylamine reacts with chlorine atoms in solution to form chloramines, which are more stable than free chlorine molecules. This reaction can be catalyzed by ph optimum or activated carbon. The reaction between hydrochloric acid and methyl ethyl amine produces methylamine gas, which is toxic in high concentrations.
