Tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) is principally a mixture of four TEPA ethyleneamines with close boiling points including linear, branched, and two cyclic TEPA products, and higher molecular weight products.
These compounds are:
• TEPA (CAS #000112-57-2, N-(2-aminoethyl)-N ́-{2-{(2-aminoethyl)amino}ethyl}-1,2-ethanediamine)
• AETETA (CAS #031295-46-2, 4-(2-aminoethyl)-N-(2-aminoethyl)-N ́-{2-{(2-aminoethyl)amino}ethyl}-1,2-ethanediamine)
• APEEDA (CAS #031295-54-2, 1-(2-aminoethyl)-4-[(2-aminoethyl)amino]ethyl]-piperazine)
• PEDETA (CAS #031295-49-5, 1-[2-[[2-[(2-aminoethyl)amino]ethyl]-amino]ethyl]-piperazine)
