Tetraacetylethylenediamine, commonly abbreviated as TAED, is an organic compound with the formula (CH₃C(O))₂NCH₂CH₂N(C(O)CH₃)₂. It is a white solid commonly used as a bleach activator in laundry detergents and in the production of paper pulp. TAED is synthesized through the acetylation of ethylenediamine.
