2-(2-Aminoethylamino)ethanol(CAS#111-41-1)
quality
N-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine, also known as 2-(2-aminomethyleno)ethanolamine, is an organic compound.
N-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine is a colorless liquid that exhibits an ammonia odor similar to amine compounds at room temperature. It has two amino groups and a hydroxyl functional group, which have both the alkalinity of amines and the hydrophilic properties of alcohols.
N-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine is an alkaline compound that can react with acids in acid-base neutralization. It can form salts or coordination compounds, is able to neutralize with acidic substances, and has the ability to buffer the pH of the solution.
N-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine also has good solubility. It is miscible with water and many organic solvents such as alcohols and ethers, and can also be soluble in many non-polar solvents at low temperatures.
Application
2-(2-Aminoethylamino)ethanol (AEEA, CAS 111-41-1) is a versatile amino alcohol widely used as a chelating agent, surfactant intermediate, and gas treating solvent. Its dual amine and hydroxyl functionality enables strong complexation with metal ions, making it valuable in industrial cleaning formulations, textile processing, and water treatment. In the oil and gas industry, AEEA is employed for acid gas removal (H₂S and CO₂ scrubbing) due to its high absorption capacity and low degradation rate. It also serves as a building block for the synthesis of corrosion inhibitors, fabric softeners, and polyurethane catalysts. In personal care products, it functions as a pH adjuster and emulsifier. Additionally, AEEA is an intermediate for pharmaceutical compounds and agrochemicals. Its high purity grade ensures consistent performance in sensitive formulations.
