Description

2-(Aminomethyl)Butan-1-Ol is a versatile bifunctional organic compound containing both a primary amine and a primary alcohol group. This unique structure makes it a valuable building block and intermediate in the synthesis of more complex molecules. It is particularly sought after by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for creating active ingredients, polymers, and functional additives.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for drugs targeting the central nervous system or as a linker in prodrug design.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators, where its amine and alcohol functionalities allow for the introduction of specific biological activity.
• Polymer & Resin Modifier: Serves as a chain extender, cross-linking agent, or curing agent in epoxy, polyurethane, and other specialty polymer systems to modify flexibility, adhesion, or chemical resistance.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Formulation: Incorporated into formulations for metalworking fluids and industrial coatings due to its ability to chelate metal ions and form protective layers.
• Surfactant & Chelating Agent Production: Acts as a raw material for synthesizing amphoteric surfactants and complexing agents used in personal care, detergents, and water treatment.
• Organic Synthesis Building Block: Employed in research and fine chemical synthesis for constructing heterocycles, amino alcohols, and other nitrogen-containing compounds.

Quality Control

Our 2-(Aminomethyl)Butan-1-Ol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets the high-purity standards required for sensitive synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to the presence of amine and alcohol groups, it is hygroscopic and should be protected from excessive moisture. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use.
