Triethylamine (Molecular formula: C6H15N), also known as N, N-diethylethylamine, the simplest tri substituted tertiary amine, has the typical properties of tertiary amine, including salt formation and oxidation. Triethylamine has no reaction in the Hisberg reaction. The appearance is a colorless to light yellow transparent liquid with a strong ammonia odor, which emits slight smoke in the Chemicalbook air. Boiling point: 89.5 ℃, relative density (water=1): 0.70, relative density (air=1): 3.48, slightly soluble in water, soluble in ethanol and ether. The aqueous solution is alkaline. Flammable, its vapor can form explosive mixture with air, and the Flammability limit is 1.2%~8.0%. Toxic and highly irritating..
