Triethylamine hydrochloride is mainly used in the production of quarternary ammonium compounds for textile auxiliaries and quarternary ammonium salts of dyes. It is also a catalyst and acid neutralizer for condensation reactions and is useful as an intermediate for manufacturing medicines (for example, as a side chain for semi-synthetic antibiotics), pesticides and other chemicals.
