Description

3-(Diethylamino)Propanoic Acid is a versatile organic compound featuring both a tertiary amine and a carboxylic acid functional group, making it a valuable building block in chemical synthesis. This bifunctional nature allows it to act as an intermediate for the production of various pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals. It is particularly sought after by research and development teams, fine chemical manufacturers, and companies in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors for creating active ingredients, surfactants, and corrosion inhibitors.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring a diethylamino-propyl moiety.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Precursor: Serves as a starting material for manufacturing quaternary ammonium salt-based corrosion inhibitors used in industrial water treatment and oilfield applications.
• Surfactant and Detergent Intermediate: Employed in the synthesis of amphoteric and cationic surfactants for personal care and industrial cleaning formulations.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Acts as a useful reagent for introducing the 3-(diethylamino)propyl group into target molecules in research and fine chemical production.
• Polymer Modification: Utilized in the creation of functional monomers for specialty polymers with tailored properties.

Quality Control

Our 3-(Diethylamino)Propanoic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability, though short-term storage at 15-25°C is acceptable.
