Diethylaniline is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C₁₀H₁₅N. It is used as an intermediate in the manufacture of dyes, pharmaceuticals and other chemicals, and also as a reaction catalyst. In organic synthesis, the complex diethylaniline·borane (DEANB) is used as a reducing agent.^[3]

Diethylaniline may be genotoxic because it has been found to increase the rate of sister chromatid exchange.^[4]
