Description

11-Amino-1-undecanol is a bifunctional organic compound featuring both a primary amino group and a primary hydroxyl group on a long aliphatic chain. This unique structure makes it a valuable versatile building block for the synthesis of specialty polymers, surfactants, and pharmaceutical intermediates. It is particularly sought after by manufacturers in the polymer, personal care, and life sciences industries for creating functionalized materials with tailored properties.

Application

• Polymer Chemistry: Key monomer for synthesizing polyamides (nylon-type polymers) and polyurethanes, imparting flexibility and specific end-group functionality.
• Surfactant & Detergent Industry: Used to produce cationic and amphoteric surfactants for fabric softeners, hair conditioners, and specialty cleaning formulations.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a crucial precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and drug delivery agents like liposomes.
• Corrosion Inhibitors: Functionalized to create film-forming amines that protect metal surfaces in industrial cooling and boiler water systems.
• Lubricant Additives: Employed in the manufacture of additives that improve the anti-wear and extreme pressure properties of industrial lubricants.
• Bioconjugation & Linker Chemistry: The amino and hydroxyl groups allow for conjugation with biomolecules, peptides, and dyes in diagnostic and research applications.
• Epoxy Curing Agents: Acts as a curing agent or hardener for epoxy resin systems, modifying flexibility and crosslink density.
• Organic Synthesis: A versatile intermediate for constructing complex organic molecules, including macrocycles and dendrimers.
