Amino Alcohols

Santa Cruz Biotechnology now offers a broad range of amino alcohols for use in various applications. Amino alcohols, characterized by the presence of both an amino group (-NH2) and a hydroxyl group (-OH) within the same molecule, are versatile compounds that play significant roles in numerous scientific research fields. These bifunctional molecules are key intermediates in organic synthesis, enabling the construction of complex molecules through a variety of chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions, reductions, and cyclizations. Amino alcohols are crucial in the development of polymers and surfactants, where their dual functionality allows for unique interactions and properties, enhancing material performance and stability. In biochemistry, amino alcohols are integral to studying metabolic pathways, enzyme functions, and the synthesis of biomolecules. They are often used in the synthesis of amino acids, peptides, and other biologically relevant compounds, providing insights into protein structure and function. Environmental scientists utilize amino alcohols to investigate the behavior of nitrogen and oxygen-containing compounds in ecosystems, contributing to the understanding of biogeochemical cycles and pollution mitigation strategies. In materials science, these compounds are employed to modify surfaces, improve adhesion, and create materials with specific reactivities and functionalities. Additionally, amino alcohols are valuable in analytical chemistry as reagents and standards in various techniques, such as chromatography and spectroscopy, facilitating the accurate analysis and identification of complex mixtures. By offering a diverse selection of amino alcohols, Santa Cruz Biotechnology supports a wide range of scientific endeavors, enabling researchers to select the appropriate amino alcohol for their specific experimental needs. This extensive range of amino alcohols facilitates innovation and discovery across multiple scientific disciplines, including chemistry, biology, environmental science, and materials science.
