alkanolamine
Sign in to saveAlso known as alkanolamines, amino alcohol
In organic chemistry, alkanolamines (amino alcohols) are organic compounds that contain both hydroxyl () and amino (, , and ) functional groups on an alkane backbone. Alkanolamine's bifunctionality and physicochemical characteristics lead to its use in many applications, such as textiles, cosmetics, agricultural chemical intermediates, drugs, and metal working fluids. Alkanolamines are present in many approved drugs and thousands of natural products. Two amino acids are alkanolamines, formally speaking: serine and hydroxyproline.
