3-amino-1,2-propanediol CAS 616-30-8

3-Amino-1,2-propanediol CAS 616-30-8 for Organic Synthesis Intermediates

3-Amino-1,2-propanediol is an amino diol intermediate containing both primary amine and vicinal hydroxyl functionality. Its combined amine and diol structure makes it useful in organic synthesis routes where hydroxy-functional amine building blocks are required for further derivatization.

This product may be used in pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis, fine chemical synthesis, specialty organic intermediate preparation and downstream amine- or hydroxyl-based transformations. In B2B sourcing, buyers usually need to confirm assay, water content, appearance, related impurities, physical state, storage conditions, packaging, transport classification and documentation availability before purchase.

Chemical Structure

Key Applications

• Organic synthesis intermediate: Used as an amino diol building block for introducing both primary amine and hydroxyl functionality in downstream synthesis.

• Pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis: May be used as a starting material or intermediate in selected pharmaceutical intermediate routes, subject to specification and process requirements.

• Fine chemical intermediate: Suitable for specialty chemical synthesis where amino diol structure, polarity adjustment or further functionalization is required.

• Multifunctional intermediate preparation: The amine and hydroxyl groups may support sequential derivatization, protection/deprotection, salt formation or other controlled transformations.

• R&D and process evaluation: Can support laboratory evaluation, route screening and process development for organic synthesis projects.

Sourcing and Documentation Support

• Specification confirmation: Assay, appearance, water content, related amines, residual solvents and physical state can be reviewed according to buyer requirements and supplier confirmation.

• COA and SDS support: COA and SDS may be provided for confirmed products, subject to product, batch and supplier confirmation.

• Packaging review: Packaging options can be checked according to product properties, physical state, order quantity, moisture sensitivity and transport classification.

• Export and logistics discussion: Shipment feasibility, dangerous goods classification, trade term and destination requirements should be confirmed case by case before quotation or shipment.

Packaging and Logistics Considerations

3-Amino-1,2-propanediol may require packaging that protects the material from moisture and contamination. Suitable packaging should be confirmed according to product properties, physical state, order quantity, storage conditions, supplier specification and transport route.

Depending on the actual physical state and order quantity, packaging may include small bottles, small drums, fiber drums with inner liner or other suitable formats, subject to supplier confirmation. For materials with moisture sensitivity or low-melting behavior, sealed packaging and storage conditions should be reviewed before shipment.

Sea, air, courier, LCL or FCL shipment feasibility should be evaluated case by case according to the latest SDS, transport classification, package size and destination requirements. Import clearance, local duties, taxes and destination compliance should be confirmed by the buyer or their appointed import agent.

Common trade terms may include FOB China port, FCA warehouse, CFR/CIF destination port or DAP destination where applicable. Final shipment arrangement depends on product classification, order quantity, destination and buyer import capability.

Safety and Storage Information

The following safety information is for general reference only. Final hazard classification, handling requirements, storage conditions and transport conditions must be confirmed according to the latest SDS and shipment documents.

• Handling: Handle in a well-ventilated area with appropriate personal protective equipment and avoid direct contact with skin, eyes and clothing.

• Storage: Keep the container tightly closed and store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place. Protect from moisture, heat and incompatible materials.

• Transport confirmation: Transport classification, labels and packaging requirements should be verified according to the latest SDS, dangerous goods classification report or shipment documents.
