1-Ethyl-3-(2-hydroxyethyl)urea is an organic compound characterized by its urea functional group, which is modified by ethyl and hydroxyethyl substituents. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid or crystalline substance. It is soluble in water due to the presence of the hydroxyethyl group, which enhances its hydrophilicity. The molecular structure includes an ethyl group attached to the nitrogen atom of the urea, while the hydroxyethyl group is connected to the carbon atom of the urea moiety, contributing to its unique properties. This compound may exhibit hydrogen bonding capabilities due to the hydroxyl group, influencing its interactions in various chemical environments. It is often studied for its potential applications in pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and as a chemical intermediate. Safety data sheets should be consulted for handling and storage guidelines, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper safety measures are taken during use.
