N,N-Dimethylethylamine (DMEA), sometimes referred to as dimethylethylamine, is an organic compound with formula (CH₃)₂NC₂H₅. It is an industrial chemical that is mainly used in foundries as a catalyst for epoxy resins and polyurethane as well as sand core production.{{Ullmann|doi=10.1002/14356007.a02_001|title=Amines, Aliphatic|year=2000|last1= Eller|first1=Karsten|last2=Henkes|first2=Erhard|last3=Rossbacher|first3=Roland|last4=Höke|first4=Hartmut|isbn=3527306730}} {{cite web|title=Dimethylethylamine|url=http://www.basf.com/group/corporate/us/en/brand/N_N_DIMETHYLETHYLAMINE|publisher=BASF The Chemical Company|accessdate=4 May 2014}} Dimethylethylamine is a malodorous, volatile liquid at room temperature that is excreted at greater concentrations with larger dietary intake of trimethylamine.{{cite web|title=N,N-Dimethylethylamine|url=http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/search/a?dbs+hsdb:@term+@DOCNO+5712|work=Toxnet|publisher=Hazardous Substance Data Bank|accessdate=4 May 2014|quote=The aim was to study the effect of trimethylamine (TMA) on the metabolism of the industrial catalyst N,N-dimethylethylamine to ascertain whether biological monitoring of industrial exposure to N,N-dimethylethylamine is compromised and excretion of the malodorous N,N-dimethylethylamine in sweat and urine is increased by dietary intake of TMA....Although the increased urinary and hidrotic excretion of N,N-dimethylethylamine may contribute to body odor problems, they were primarily due to TMA excretion, which is much the greater.|archive-date=16 September 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180916144239/https://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/search/a?dbs+hsdb:@term+@DOCNO+5712|url-status=dead}}
