What is DL-Alaninol?

Chemical properties

clear colorless to light yellow viscous liquid

The Uses of DL-Alaninol

DL-Alaninol has been used in the synthesis of N6-α-(I-hydroxypropyl) lysine, diastereomers of DL-β-amino alcohols, enantiopure and racemic samples of 2-methyl-N-tosylaziridine, (±)-3-(5-dimethylcarbamoyl-pent-1-enyl)-N-(2-hydroxy-1-methyl-ethyl)benzamide.

General Description

A colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fishy odor. Moderately toxic by ingestion and skin contact. A severe skin irritant. Combustible. The compound contains both the amine group -NH2 and the alcohol group -OH and so has some properties of both. Floats and mixes with water.

Air & Water Reactions

Very soluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

DL-Alaninol is a chemical base. Neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is generated by amines in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.

Health Hazard

If inhaled may be harmful. Contact may cause burns to skin and eyes. (Organic base.)
