2-(2-Aminoethoxy)ethanol (CAT: R061018) is a bifunctional organic compound containing both a primary amine and a hydroxyl group, linked by an ethoxy-ethane backbone. This dual functionality provides strong reactivity and versatility, making it valuable as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, surfactants, and polymer additives. It is used in the preparation of chelating agents, corrosion inhibitors, and epoxy curing agents, where its amine group can participate in nucleophilic reactions and its hydroxyl group in esterification or etherification. Its water solubility and hydrogen-bonding capability also make it suitable for formulations in coatings, adhesives, and specialty chemical applications.
