2-Dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE)
Versatile Amino Alcohol for Multisector Chemical Synthesis and Functional Applications
2-Dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE),multifunctional amino alcohol for industrial and commercial applications, also known as N,N-dimethylethanolamine, is a colorless to pale yellow hygroscopic liquid with a distinct amine-like odor. It is fully miscible with water, alcohols, and polar organic solvents such as ether, while exhibiting limited solubility in non-polar hydrocarbons. With a boiling point of 134-136°C and a flash point of 40°C (closed cup), DMAE demonstrates moderate volatility and requires careful handling due to flammability. Its vapor can form explosive mixtures with air at concentrations of 2.0% to 12.4% (volume fraction). DMAE acts as a tertiary amine and primary alcohol, enabling dual reactivity in chemical processes.
Key Industrial Applications
