Description:

3-[(1-Methylethyl)amino]-1-butanol, also known by its CAS number 76888-69-2, is an organic compound characterized by its amine and alcohol functional groups. This substance features a butanol backbone with an isopropylamino group at the third carbon position. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a moderate boiling point and is soluble in water due to the presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group. The compound exhibits basic properties due to the amine group, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and hydrogen bonding. Its structure suggests potential applications in pharmaceuticals, particularly as a building block in the synthesis of more complex molecules. Additionally, the presence of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions in its molecular structure may influence its behavior in biological systems and its interaction with other chemical entities.
