N-Ethyl-N-hydroxyethylaniline
N-Ethyl-N-hydroxyethylaniline (CAS: 92-50-2) is an aromatic amino alcohol supplied as a pale yellow to brown liquid. It combines a tertiary aniline nitrogen with a reactive hydroxyl group.
This structure makes it a key coupling component for disperse and cationic dyes and a building block for other aminoalcohol derivatives.
It is commonly specified for low aniline and diethanol impurities to ensure clean shades.
It should be stored in closed containers away from light and oxidisers. Typical specifications include assay, colour, water and low residual aniline.
• Dye manufacturing: coupling component for disperse and cationic azo dyes used on polyester and acrylic fibres. The hydroxyethyl group improves compatibility and affinity for synthetic fibres.
• Chemical intermediate: hydroxyl group allows esterification or chlorination for further derivatives. Its dual functionality widens the range of downstream products.
• Specialty applications: used in selected photographic and colour-forming chemistry. It is used in small volumes with high value.
• Polymer and urethane chemistry: the hydroxyl function allows use as a chain modifier or colour-bearing monomer in specialty resins.
