I did some reaction of polymer synthesis in which triethylamine was used. I have NMR of the resultant polymer in which I am expecting that triethylamine is converted into diethylamine. Is it possible? Please share some references. Thanks in advance.
It is may be possible by using organometallic catalysis reactions. You can see the links bellow:

I don't think so, under polyurethane reaction conditions tertiary amine catalysts are extra selected to accelarate the rxn and not to generate any unexpected side reactions, any forms of primary or secondory amines may change the structure of PU.
if your reaction condition was not harsh, it is not possible. in addition, I do not know how do you understand the difference between triethyl amine and diethyl amine by HNMR analysis?
we can have a clue to differentiate either it is diethylamine or triethylamine in HNMR by comparing the peak areas of CH3 or CH2 protons with the peak area of any standard proton in the same compound.
