= N,N,N′,N′‐Tetraoctyl Diglycolamide (TODGA) = N,N,N′,N′‐Tetraoctyl Diglycolamide, known commonly as TODGA, is an diglycolamide compound with the chemical formula ((C8H15)2NCOCH2)2O. This liquid finds its application as a inorganic ligand and complexes with metal ions. It is a promising rxtractant for actinide‐partitioning.

Production
TODGA has been synthesized from diglycolic acid or diglycolic anhydride with dioctylamine.

Nuclear chemistry
In the separation of the minor actinides (americium and curium), TODGA, shows many interesting properties and is under investigation in conjunction with a variety of other extractants.
