General description

3-Amino-1-propanol is a linear primary alkanolamine.

Application

3-Amino-1-propanol is often used as a molecular linker. Generally, it can be used:
  • In the preparation of polyurethanes and poly(propyl ether imine) dendrimers.
  • As a key starting material in the total synthesis of (−)-ephedradine A (orantine), (−)-and (+)-tedanalactam.
  • As a precursor to synthesize a variety of medicinally important compounds by selective O- or N-arylation and amidation of 3-amino-1-propanol.
