Description

3-(Ethylamino)Propan-1-Ol CAS NO 42055-16-3 is a versatile amino alcohol intermediate characterized by its bifunctional reactivity, featuring both a primary hydroxyl group and a secondary amine. This compound is valued for its role as a key building block in the synthesis of more complex molecules, offering a balance of hydrophilicity and reactivity. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for applications ranging from drug synthesis to the production of corrosion inhibitors and surfactants.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring amino alcohol motifs.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a precursor for herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Formulation: Incorporated into formulations for metal surface treatment and protection in industrial fluids.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier Production: Acts as a building block for cationic and amphoteric surfactants used in personal care and industrial cleaners.
• Polymer Modification: Employed as a chain extender or cross-linking agent in polyurethane and epoxy resin systems.
• Gas Treating Agent: Utilized in formulations for acid gas (e.g., CO2, H2S) scrubbing processes.
