| Specification: |
?Dimethylamine is a base, neutralizing acids in exothermic reactions, and a reducing agent. Dimethylamine is temperature sensitive. It reacts vigorously with mercury and chlorine. Besides, it also reacts violently with strong oxidizing agents and attacks copper and copper compounds. It still reacts with hypochlorites to give N-chloroamines, some of which are explosives when isolated. |
