Description

2,6-Piperazinediethanol (7Ci,8Ci) is a versatile organic compound with a piperazine core functionalized with two ethanol groups. This structure makes it a valuable intermediate and building block for the synthesis of more complex molecules, particularly in the pharmaceutical and specialty chemical sectors. It is primarily sought by research institutions and industrial manufacturers involved in developing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), chelating agents, and polymer modifiers.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block in the synthesis of various drug candidates, including potential anticancer agents, antivirals, and central nervous system (CNS) active compounds.
• Ligand and Chelating Agent Precursor: Used to synthesize polyamine-based ligands for metal complexation in catalysis, water treatment, or diagnostic imaging.
• Polymer Modification: Serves as a monomer or cross-linking agent to introduce hydrophilic and reactive amine/ethanol functionalities into polymer backbones for specialty resins and coatings.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Formulation: Utilized as a component in formulations designed to protect metal surfaces in industrial cooling and processing systems.
• Bioconjugation Chemistry: Acts as a spacer or linker molecule in the development of bioconjugates for targeted drug delivery and diagnostic applications.
• Research & Development: Employed in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new chemical entities and reaction pathways in organic synthesis.

Quality Control

Our 2,6-Piperazinediethanol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics. Our quality systems are designed to meet the stringent requirements of pharmaceutical intermediates and fine chemical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after initial use to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
