Ethanolamine (2-aminoethanol, monoethanolamine, ETA, or MEA) is a naturally occurring organic chemical compound with the formula HOCH2CH2NH2 or C2H7NO. [ 8 ] The molecule is bifunctional, containing both a primary amine and a primary alcohol. Ethanolamine is a colorless, viscous liquid with an odor reminiscent of ammonia.
2-Butoxyethanol is an organic compound with the chemical formula BuOC 2 H 4 OH (Bu = CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2). This colorless liquid has a sweet, ether -like odor, as it derives from the family of glycol ethers , and is a butyl ether of ethylene glycol .
2-Aminoalcohols are an important class of organic compounds that are often generated by the reaction of amines with epoxides: C 2 H 4 O + R−NH 2 → RNHC 2 H 4 OH. Simple alkanolamines are used as solvents, synthetic intermediates, and high-boiling bases. [2] Hydrogenation or hydride reduction of amino acids gives the
2-Ethylhexanol (abbreviated 2-EH) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C H 3CH2CH2CH2CH (CH2CH3)CH2 O H. It is a branched, eight-carbon chiral alcohol. It is a colorless liquid that is poorly soluble in water but soluble in most organic solvents.
Fatty alcohol. Fatty alcohols (or long-chain alcohols) are usually high-molecular-weight, straight-chain primary alcohols, but can also range from as few as 4–6 carbons to as many as 22–26, derived from natural fats and oils. The precise chain length varies with the source. [1][2] Some commercially important fatty alcohols are lauryl ...
Guerbet reaction. The Guerbet reaction, named after Marcel Guerbet (1861–1938), is an organic reaction that converts a primary alcohol into its β-alkylated dimer alcohol with loss of one equivalent of water. The process is of interest because it converts simple inexpensive feedstocks into more valuable products.
Amyl alcohols are alcohols with the formula C 5 H 11 OH. [1] Eight are known. A mixture of amyl alcohols (also called amyl alcohol) can be obtained from fusel alcohol. Amyl alcohol is used as a solvent and in esterification, by which is produced amyl acetate and other products. The name amyl alcohol without further specification applies to the ...
tert-Amyl alcohol(TAA) or 2-methylbutan-2-ol(2M2B), is a branched pentanol. Historically, TAA has been used as an anesthetic[3]and more recently as a recreational drug.[4] TAA is mostly a positive allosteric modulator for GABAAreceptorsin the same way as ethanol.[5] The psychotropic effects of TAA and ethanol are similar, though distinct.
