Description

2-(Diethylamino)-1-Propanol is a versatile tertiary amino alcohol with a unique chemical structure that provides both basicity and hydroxyl functionality. This compound is a valuable intermediate and additive in the synthesis of specialty chemicals and pharmaceuticals, where its properties facilitate reactions and modify product characteristics. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and polymer industries for applications ranging from catalyst formulation to the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring a tertiary amino alcohol moiety.
• Catalyst and Corrosion Inhibitor Precursor: Serves as a building block for formulating quaternary ammonium compounds used as phase-transfer catalysts or corrosion inhibitors.
• Polymer Additive: Acts as a chain transfer agent or curing agent in epoxy resin systems and polyurethane formulations.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Employed as an intermediate in the production of herbicides, pesticides, and plant growth regulators.
• Surfactant and Emulsifier Production: Utilized to create amphoteric or cationic surfactants for personal care and industrial cleaning products.
• Gas Treating Agent: Functions as an absorbent for acid gases like carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide in natural gas processing.

Quality Control

Our 2-(Diethylamino)-1-Propanol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay by GC or titration and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the required specifications for industrial and fine chemical applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product quality. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and acids.
