Description

6-Benzylamino-1-Hexanol is a versatile amino alcohol intermediate featuring both a primary hydroxyl group and a secondary amine functionalized with a benzyl group. This bifunctional nature makes it a valuable building block for the synthesis of more complex molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical and specialty chemical research. It is primarily sought after by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries for applications in drug discovery and material science.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring amino alcohol motifs.
• Ligand Synthesis: Used in the preparation of chiral ligands for asymmetric catalysis and metal complexation.
• Polymer Modification: Serves as a monomer or chain extender in the production of specialty polyurethanes, polyamides, and epoxy curing agents.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Intermediate in the development of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Precursor: Used to formulate additives for metalworking fluids and industrial coatings.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier Research: Investigated for the development of novel cationic or amphoteric surfactants.

Quality Control

Our 6-Benzylamino-1-Hexanol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, ensuring traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term storage to prevent moisture absorption and potential degradation.
