Description:3-(Methylamino)propan-1-ol, also known by its CAS number 42055-15-2, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both an alcohol and an amine functional group. It features a three-carbon chain (propane) with a hydroxyl (-OH) group at one end and a methylamino (-NH(CH3)2) group attached to the second carbon. This structure imparts both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties, making it soluble in water and organic solvents. The compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic amine odor. It is used in various applications, including as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The presence of the amine group allows for potential reactivity in nucleophilic substitution reactions, while the alcohol group can participate in hydrogen bonding, influencing its physical properties such as boiling point and solubility. Safety considerations should be taken into account, as amines can be irritants and may require appropriate handling and storage measures.
