			[[File:Diethylethanolamine.svg\|thumb\|right\|Structural formula of Diethylethanolamine]]

			'''Diethylethanolamine''' (DEEA) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>15</sub>NO. It is a tertiary amine and an alcohol, characterized by the presence of both an amine group and a hydroxyl group in its structure. DEEA is a colorless liquid with a fishy odor, commonly used in various industrial applications.

	== Chemical Structure and Properties ==		== Chemical Structure and Properties ==

	Diethylethanolamine is a ~~clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic amine odor. It is miscible with water~~ and ~~most organic solvents~~. The ~~compound consists~~ of a ~~diethylamino group attached to an ethanol moiety~~, ~~which gives it both basic~~ and ~~nucleophilic properties~~.		Diethylethanolamine consists of a central nitrogen atom bonded to two ethyl groups and one ethanol group. The presence of the hydroxyl group makes it a versatile compound, capable of participating in hydrogen bonding. This property influences its solubility and reactivity.
