CAS 13054-87-0: 2-Amino-1-butanol

Description: 2-Amino-1-butanol, with the CAS number 13054-87-0, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both an amino group (-NH2) and a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a four-carbon butane chain. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a slightly amine-like odor. It is soluble in water due to the polar nature of its functional groups, which allows for hydrogen bonding. 2-Amino-1-butanol is often used as a building block in organic synthesis and can serve as a chiral auxiliary in asymmetric synthesis. Its amino group can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and condensation reactions. Additionally, it has potential applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as a surfactant. The compound is generally considered to have low toxicity, but appropriate safety measures should be taken when handling it, as with all chemical substances.
