Description

2-Aminoundecane is a versatile long-chain primary amine with the CAS number 13205-56-6, valued for its role as a crucial building block in organic synthesis. Its unique structure, featuring an 11-carbon alkyl chain terminated by a reactive amino group, makes it an essential intermediate for creating surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, and pharmaceutical compounds. This high-purity chemical is primarily sought by R&D laboratories, specialty chemical manufacturers, and industries involved in lubricant additives and agrochemical formulation.

Application

• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a key precursor in the synthesis of quaternary ammonium compounds (quats), cationic surfactants, and betaines.
• Corrosion Inhibition: Used in the formulation of high-performance corrosion inhibitors for industrial cooling systems, oilfield applications, and metalworking fluids.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additives: Acts as a friction modifier and dispersant in the production of advanced lubricant and fuel additive packages.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Employed in the manufacture of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Utilized in organic synthesis routes for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and fine chemicals.
• Research & Development: A valuable reagent in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new organic reactions and material science applications.
• Surface Modification: Used to functionalize surfaces and nanoparticles due to its long hydrophobic chain and reactive amine group.
