Description

1-(Methylamino)Propan-2-Ol is a versatile amino alcohol derivative, also known as N-Methylisopropanolamine, valued for its bifunctional reactivity as both a secondary amine and a secondary alcohol. This compound is a crucial intermediate in the synthesis of a wide range of specialty chemicals, offering a balance of reactivity and stability for complex organic transformations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and polymer industries for producing active ingredients, surfactants, and corrosion inhibitors.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for β-blockers and other cardiovascular drugs.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of herbicides, pesticides, and plant growth regulators, where its amine functionality is essential.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Formulation: Acts as a precursor for compounds that protect metal surfaces in industrial cooling systems and oilfield applications.
• Surfactant and Emulsifier Production: Serves as a raw material for manufacturing non-ionic surfactants used in detergents and personal care products.
• Polymer Modification: Employed as a chain extender or cross-linking agent in polyurethane and epoxy resin systems.
• Gas Treating Agent: Utilized in formulations for the selective removal of acidic gases like CO2 and H2S in natural gas processing.

Quality Control

Our 1-(Methylamino)Propan-2-Ol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC/HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for sensitive synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with full traceability are provided for each shipment, and we can support compliance with REACH, FDA (for drug master files), and other relevant regulatory frameworks upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed to prevent absorption of water and carbon dioxide from the air. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and acids.
