Product Information

• Name: N-Benzyl-2-hydroxyacetamide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: N-Benzyl-2-hydroxyacetamide is a synthetic molecule that is used in the synthesis of other molecules. It is synthesized by reacting benzaldehyde with 2-aminoethanol in the presence of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. The yields are typically high, as the reaction proceeds under relatively mild conditions with few side reactions. The mechanism of this reaction is nucleophilic addition of the amino group to the carbonyl carbon atom, followed by elimination of water. N-Benzyl-2-hydroxyacetamide can be converted to various other compounds through intramolecular reactions or substitutions on its molecular structure.
