Description

4-Benzylamino-1-Butanol is a versatile amino alcohol derivative characterized by its benzyl-protected amine and terminal hydroxyl functional groups. This bifunctional nature makes it a valuable building block in organic synthesis, particularly for the preparation of pharmaceuticals and specialty chemicals. It is primarily utilized by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries for constructing complex molecular architectures.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring amino alcohol motifs.
• Chiral Auxiliary/Synthon: Used in asymmetric synthesis to induce chirality in target molecules.
• Ligand Preparation: Serves as a starting material for the synthesis of nitrogen- and oxygen-containing ligands used in catalysis.
• Polymer Modification: Functional monomer for introducing amine and hydroxyl groups into polymer chains to alter material properties.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Intermediate in the production of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Formulation: Component in specialty chemical formulations designed to protect metals.
• Research & Development: Standard reagent in academic and industrial laboratories for method development and novel compound synthesis.

Quality Control

Our 4-Benzylamino-1-Butanol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and spectroscopic identification (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, confirming identity, purity, and conformance to specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed and under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term storage to prevent degradation.
