Product Information

• Name: 2-Aminobenzyl alcohol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Aminobenzyl alcohol is a chaperone that binds to the polypeptide chain of proteins and prevents them from denaturation. It also has been shown to form hydrogen bonds with other molecules, such as chaperones, and to bind to copper ions. 2-Aminobenzyl alcohol can react with sodium carbonate in an alkaline solution to form 2-aminobenzaldehyde and sodium bicarbonate. The reaction mechanism is thought to involve the formation of a copper complex with x-ray diffraction data showing a new set of peaks at d = 1.81 Å corresponding to the Cu(II) ion coordinated by two amine groups on the benzyl alcohol ring. This compound also reacts with quinoline derivatives in the presence of hydrochloric acid or hydroxyl group in an aprotic solvent such as dimethylformamide (DMF) or acetonitrile (ACN) to produce mianserin hydro
