Description

2-(Aminooxy)Ethanol is a versatile bifunctional organic compound containing both an aminooxy and a hydroxyl group, making it a valuable building block for chemical synthesis. Its primary value lies in its ability to act as a linker or a functionalization agent, particularly in the formation of oxime bonds, which are stable under a wide range of biological conditions. This product is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries, where it is used to develop active ingredients, polymer modifiers, and biochemical probes.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Key building block for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially those requiring oxime linkage for prodrug strategies or targeted drug delivery.
• Bioconjugation & Protein Labeling: Used to functionalize biomolecules (e.g., antibodies, peptides) via reaction with carbonyl groups (ketones/aldehydes) for diagnostics, imaging, and therapeutic applications.
• Polymer Modification: Serves as a cross-linking agent or a functional monomer to introduce aminooxy groups into polymer backbones, altering material properties for coatings, adhesives, or hydrogels.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Intermediate in the production of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators that utilize oxime ether chemistry.
• Surface Functionalization: Used to create reactive surfaces on materials like silica, gold, or polymers for sensor development, chromatography, and nanotechnology.
• Chemical Research & Development: A valuable reagent in organic synthesis for constructing heterocycles and introducing protected hydroxylamine functionality.

Quality Control

Our 2-(Aminooxy)Ethanol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high purity and consistency, meeting the stringent requirements for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to ensure full traceability and compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
