2-{2-[(2-Methyl-2-propanyl)amino]ethoxy}ethanol(CAS: 87787-67-5)

2-{2-[(2-Methyl-2-propanyl)amino]ethoxy}ethanol (CAS: 87787-67-5) is a colorless liquid with a molecular weight of approximately 194.26 g/mol. It has a high solubility in water and organic solvents. Chemically, it reacts readily with acids to form salts and can participate in esterification reactions. It is stable under normal conditions but should be stored away from strong acids and bases.

2-{2-[(2-Methyl-2-propanyl)amino]ethoxy}ethanol (CAS: 87787-67-5) is typically synthesized by the reaction of 2-methyl-2-propanamine with ethylene oxide, followed by hydrolysis to form the corresponding alcohol. The reaction is catalyzed by a metal alkoxide such as sodium methoxide, and the process yields up to 95% pure product under optimized conditions.

2-{2-[(2-Methyl-2-propanyl)amino]ethoxy}ethanol (CAS: 87787-67-5) is used in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of various drugs, in the polymer industry as a monomer or plasticizer, and in the sensor industry for its sensitivity to certain analytes. It is also utilized in the semiconductor industry as a cleaning agent.

When handling 2-{2-[(2-Methyl-2-propanyl)amino]ethoxy}ethanol (CAS: 87787-67-5), it is important to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. The compound should be stored in a well-ventilated area and handled in a fume hood to minimize inhalation risk. Spills should be immediately neutralized with an alkaline solution and then cleaned up carefully. Always consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed information on handling and disposal.
