Description

1-Ethylaminobutan-2-Ol is a versatile amino alcohol compound with a unique chemical structure that combines both amine and hydroxyl functional groups. This bifunctionality makes it a valuable intermediate for synthesizing a wide range of specialty chemicals, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and corrosion inhibitors. It is particularly sought after by research and development teams in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries for creating novel active ingredients and functional additives.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for drugs targeting the central nervous system or as a precursor for chiral molecules.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators, where its amino alcohol moiety can enhance bioavailability or activity.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Formulation: Acts as an effective component in formulations for metal surface treatment and cooling water systems, providing protective film formation.
• Polymer & Resin Modifier: Serves as a chain extender, cross-linking agent, or curing agent in polyurethane, epoxy, and other specialty polymer systems to modify flexibility and adhesion.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier Production: Utilized as a precursor for synthesizing cationic or amphoteric surfactants used in personal care and industrial cleaning products.
• Chemical Research & Development: Employed as a versatile reagent in organic synthesis for introducing both amino and hydroxyl functionalities into target molecules.

Quality Control

Our 1-Ethylaminobutan-2-Ol is manufactured under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each production lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, identity confirmation, and impurity profiling. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical quality attributes are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and stability.
