tertiary amine help!

So I am working on something requiring a tertiary amine.It requires solid form- i can get in liquid how do I make It into solid? I ONLY REQUIRE A FEW GRAMS- the amine is triethylamine. Thanks guys!!

React it with acid.

Liquid nitrogen? Et3N freezes at −114.70 °C (−174.46 °F). May I ask what reaction is needing to take place?

If you are using it for chromatography then you probably want the bicarbonate.
You would bubble carbon dioxide through it.
I am not sure what reactions would require it in actual solid form and
not a salt. More information would be helpful.

I am using it on peptide systhesis and I can get liquid TEA- amine but need it by the gram. Liquid chemicals into solid HELP!!

OK for peptide, I assume you mean peptide separation. That means you need the solid bicarbonate.
Put the liquid in chromatography grade ether, then gas it with carbon dioxide. Filter and evaporate the remaining ether.
Another solvent may be better.

Does it need to be a solid so you can weigh it ?

Are my sandals really alligators with attitude ?

Who knows ? Not you, nor me.

Maybe the Sandals. I'll ask them.

On another project I am working on - I distill Into ETOH with HCL then evap. I think the guy that said react with acid is correct. I still need help these TERTIARY AMINES are mostly sold in ml - but sometimes by the gram solid form.Would Triethylamine Hydrochloride be what I am looking for?

Learn some OC.

Put in the Effort Drug Synth Moron.

These Spoon-feeding requests are Tedious !

Appologies.

I should not assume that yor English level was high enough to realise that :

Tedious = BORING.
