Description

1-(4-Aminobutoxy)-2-Methoxyethane is a specialized bifunctional organic compound featuring both an amino and an ether linkage. This unique structure makes it a valuable intermediate for the synthesis of more complex molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical and advanced material research. It is primarily sought after by R&D chemists and process development scientists working on active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), polymer modifiers, and specialty surfactants.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block in the synthesis of drug candidates, particularly those requiring a flexible polyether-amine spacer.
• Polymer Chemistry: Used as a monomer or chain extender in the production of polyurethanes, polyamides, and other specialty polymers to impart flexibility and functionality.
• Surface Modification Agent: Acts as a linker or coupling agent for surface functionalization of nanoparticles, silica, and other inorganic materials.
• Ligand Synthesis: Serves as a precursor for creating chelating ligands used in catalysis and metal ion extraction processes.
• Crosslinking Agent: Employed in the formulation of epoxy resins and other thermosetting polymers to modify cure kinetics and final material properties.
• Bioconjugation: Useful in biotech research for linking biomolecules (e.g., peptides, proteins) to other entities via its reactive amine group.

Quality Control

Every batch of 1-(4-Aminobutoxy)-2-Methoxyethane is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure the material meets the high-purity standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) including purity (HPLC/GC), identity (IR, NMR), and impurity profile is supplied with each shipment.

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). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
