]/TMEDA is a useful combination in organic synthesis where the ''n''-butyl analogue adds to substrate. TMEDA is still capable of forming a metal complex with Li in this case as mentioned above.
==Other uses==
Tetramethylethylenediamine is used with ] to catalyze the ] of ] when making ]s, used in ], for the separation of proteins or nucleic acids. Although the amounts used in this technique may vary from method to method, 0.1-0.2% v/v TMEDA is a "traditional" range.

TEMED is a common reagent in molecular biology laboratories, as a polymerizing agent for ] gels in the protein analysis technique ].<ref name="Manns2011">{{cite journal |doi=10.1002/9780471729259.mca03ms22 |title=SDS-Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of Proteins |date=2011 |last1=Manns |first1=Joanne M. |journal=Current Protocols in Microbiology |volume=22 }}</ref>
TEMED is highly flammable. Harmful by inhalation and if swallowed. Causes burns. It is better to apply under the hood.
