DL-1-Amino-2-propanol

Product Overview

ChemSP supplies DL-1-Amino-2-propanol to formulators, traders and research groups that need a documented, repeatable lot rather than an ad-hoc sample.

Its formula C3H9NO corresponds to 3 carbon atoms, 9 hydrogen atoms, 1 nitrogen atom and 1 oxygen atom; that fixed ratio is what makes lot-to-lot equivalence testable rather than a matter of judgement.

With MW 75.11 the material is a low-molecular-weight species, so losses through dusting and evaporation during transfer deserve attention.

Chemical Identity

Composition and Key Properties

From the composition alone the material presents a nitrogen- and oxygen-bearing framework (amide, amino acid or hydroxamate type), which dictates the compatible solvent set. The hydrogen-to-carbon ratio above two suggests a saturated, open-chain structure rather than an aromatic ring system.

The reported LogP of -1 is on the polar side in character — relevant to extraction yields and to how much residue can be rinsed out of equipment.

Applications and Use Cases

DL-1-Amino-2-propanol (CAS 78-96-6, molecular formula C3H9NO, molecular weight 75.11 g/mol) is mainly applied in chemical synthesis, fine chemical manufacturing and related industrial processes. For specification, COA and bulk prices of DL-1-Amino-2-propanol, write to our sales team.

• Intermediate use ahead of a downstream conversion, with the specification set by what the next step can tolerate.
• Use as a reaction component where a defined carbon skeleton matters more than a branded grade.
• Evaluation as a solvent or carrier in processes where the boiling range and polarity have to be fixed in advance.

Specific end-uses should be checked against your own regulatory assessment before the material is qualified in a finished product.

Packaging and Handling

Standard supply formats recorded for this product include woven bags, fibre drums, plastic drums and IBC totes. Packaging is confirmed on the order acknowledgement; where a customer needs a specific inner liner, drum type or net weight, that requirement should be stated on the purchase order rather than assumed.

Quality and Documentation

Documentation released with the lot includes a batch-specific COA, a GHS-format safety data sheet, and a specification sheet reflecting the agreed acceptance criteria. Retained samples are kept so that a later query can be checked against the original material.

Supply and Quotation

Pricing depends on quantity and destination, so a short enquiry — product, CAS, quantity, delivery point — is enough for us to respond with a firm offer, normally the next business day.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CAS number of DL-1-Amino-2-propanol?
The CAS registry number for DL-1-Amino-2-propanol is 78-96-6. Please quote it on any enquiry so that a quotation is matched to the correct grade.

Is DL-1-Amino-2-propanol a stock item or made to order?
Availability moves with the production schedule, so it is confirmed at the time of enquiry. For repeat volumes a scheduled call-off arrangement is usually preferable to one-off orders.

Can you supply DL-1-Amino-2-propanol with a specification we define?
Yes. The acceptance criteria can be adjusted within what the route allows — most often assay, moisture, heavy metals or particle size. Any change is written into the specification before the lot is released.
