Ethylenediamine (EDA)

Ethylenediamine (EDA) is a clear colourless liquid with an amine smell. It is an example of a diamine, a chemical compound with two primary amine groups. EDA has a very specific type of reactivity, and it plays an important role as an intermediate in the synthesis of numerous chemicals. For many years, it has been used in agriculture for the synthesis of herbicides and pesticides that are now key inputs in crop protection and higher agricultural yields. Chemical Properties of Ethylenediamine ● CAS: 107-15-3 ● Molecular Formula: C2H8N2 ● Molecular Weight: 60.1 g/mol ● Boiling Point: 116 °C ● Melting Point: -2 °C ● Density: 0.900 g/cm³ Physical Properties It is a hygroscopic liquid that is water‑ and most organic solvent-soluble. Ethylenediamine is highly reactive and forms chelates. It is an important starting material in chemical synthesis and agriculture. Application in Agriculture The application of EDA in Agriculture sector mainly as raw materials for different agrochemicals productions. That is, the EDA would be ued in herbicides, fungicides and insecticides synthesis. It will help in the crop management and improve the productions, in this way leads to increase in agricultural productivity and practices in the sustainable farming.
