2-Aminophenol (CAS: 95-55-6) is an aminophenol supplied as a white to light brown crystalline powder that darkens on exposure to air and light.
The adjacent amino and hydroxyl groups make the molecule a strong chelating and coupling component, and it is readily converted to benzoxazoles, azo dyes and ring-chlorinated derivatives.
Commercial assay is 99% with controlled water and ash, and the product is packed in bags or drums under inert gas.
