Product Information

• Name: 2-Methylaminoethanol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Methylaminoethanol is a colorless, water-soluble liquid. It is an alkanolamine that has a dipole moment of 1.8 debye. 2-Methylaminoethanol can be synthesized by reacting potassium dichromate with ethanolamine in the presence of borohydride and ammonia. The reaction yield for this process is about 50%. 2-Methylaminoethanol reacts with maleic acid to form maleate salt. Maleate salt molecules have two amine groups attached to a carbonyl group, which are used as raw materials for the production of various other chemicals like nylon 11, nylon 12, and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Maleates also serve as intermediates in the manufacture of esters and nitrites from alcohols and phenols. 2-Methylaminoethanol has been shown to cause blood pressure reduction in mammals due to its ability to inhibit vasoconstriction caused by
