N,N-Diisopropylethylamine is a sterically hindered tertiary amine commonly used as a non-nucleophilic base in organic synthesis. Due to its bulky isopropyl groups, it efficiently abstracts protons while minimizing side reactions, making it valuable in peptide coupling and other base-mediated reactions.
