Description

Ethanamine,2-[2-[2-[2-(4-Nitrophenoxy)Ethoxy]Ethoxy]Ethoxy]- is a specialized, high-purity organic compound featuring a unique polyether-linked amine structure terminated with a nitroaromatic group. This molecular architecture makes it a valuable intermediate for synthesizing advanced materials and functional molecules where precise surface modification and controlled reactivity are required. It is primarily sought by R&D and production teams in the pharmaceutical, polymer, and specialty chemical industries for applications ranging from drug delivery systems to the creation of novel surfactants and ligands.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key building block for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs, particularly where a hydrophilic linker and a targetable nitro group are beneficial.
• Polymer & Material Science: Used as a functional monomer or cross-linking agent for creating advanced polymers, hydrogels, and smart materials with specific responsive or adhesive properties.
• Surface Modification & Coatings: Acts as a coupling agent or surface modifier for nanoparticles, silica, and other substrates to introduce amine functionality and enhance biocompatibility or binding characteristics.
• Bioconjugation & Linker Chemistry: Employed in the development of diagnostic assays and bioconjugates, where its amine group and polyethylene glycol (PEG)-like spacer arm facilitate stable attachments to biomolecules.
• Ligand Synthesis for Catalysis: Useful in the preparation of sophisticated ligands for metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) or homogeneous catalysis, leveraging its chelating ether-amine structure.
• Research & Development: A critical reagent in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new chemical entities and novel synthetic pathways in organic and medicinal chemistry.

Quality Control

Every batch of Ethanamine,2-[2-[2-[2-(4-Nitrophenoxy)Ethoxy]Ethoxy]Ethoxy]- is manufactured and tested under strict quality management systems. We guarantee high purity and consistency suitable for demanding research and production applications. Comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry, is performed to verify identity, purity, and impurity profiles. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment to ensure full traceability and compliance with your quality requirements.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
