,Chiral Amino Alcohol
Product Introduction
2-Amino-1-Butanol (CAS 96-20-8) is an optically active amino alcohol used as a key chiral building block in pharmaceutical synthesis, most notably in the manufacture of the anti-tuberculosis medical ethambutol. It is a clear, colourless to pale yellow liquid with a mild amine odour, miscible with water and common organic solvents. Our material is produced with high chemical purity and low moisture to support demanding downstream reactions and reliable scale-up.
