Abstract
The reaction of alcohol ethoxylation in the presence of triethylamine was found to produce some by-products. Using gas chromatography and ma ss spectrometry, the by-products formed were identified as diethyletho xyethanolamine derivatives. Chromatographic retention indices and mass spectra of the identified compounds were given. No literature data we re found on the mechanism of triethylamine reaction leading to the for mation of such compounds under the conditions employed in the present experiments.
