Description

4-Ethylamino-1-Butanol is a versatile amino alcohol intermediate of significant commercial interest. Its bifunctional nature, containing both a primary amino group and a hydroxyl group, makes it a valuable building block for the synthesis of more complex molecules. This compound is particularly sought after by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for applications ranging from drug development to polymer modification.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring amino alcohol backbones for biological activity.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a key precursor for herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Formulation: Incorporated into formulations for metalworking fluids and industrial coolants due to its amine functionality.
• Polymer & Resin Modifier: Acts as a chain extender or cross-linking agent in polyurethane and epoxy resin systems.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier Production: Utilized to create cationic or amphoteric surfactants for personal care and industrial cleaning products.
• Gas Treating Agent: Employed in formulations for carbon dioxide (CO2) scrubbing and acid gas removal processes.
• Chemical Research & Development: A valuable reagent for organic synthesis in academic and industrial R&D laboratories.
