Chemical Identity:
A tertiary amino alcohol with formula (HOCH₂CH₂)₂NCH₂CH(OH)CH₃ (C₇H₁₇NO₃), also known as *N-(1-Hydroxypropan-2-yl)diethanolamine*.
Key Properties:
Viscous, colorless liquid; miscible with water.
Combines tertiary amine and three hydroxyl groups.
Primary Applications:
Cement Grinding Aid:
Major use: Enhances efficiency in cement mills (reduces energy use, improves powder flow).
Surfactant Intermediate:
Synthesizes quaternary ammonium compounds for detergents.
Corrosion Inhibitor:
Additive in metalworking fluids/coolants.
Chemical Building Block:
For chelating agents or pharmaceutical intermediates.
Safety: Mild skin/eye irritant; low volatility.
N,N-Bis(2-hydroxyethyl)isopropanolamine (chemical formula C₇H₁₇NO₃) is a tertiary amino alcohol with the following structural features:
Core: Tertiary amine nitrogen (N) bonded to three groups:
One isopropyl group (–CH(CH₃)₂)
Two 2-hydroxyethyl groups (–CH₂CH₂OH)
Systematic Name: *1-[Bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]-2-propanol* or *N-(1-Hydroxypropan-2-yl)diethanolamine*.
Molecular Weight: 163.22 g/mol.
Physical State: Colorless to pale yellow viscous liquid.
Hydrophilicity: Miscible with water due to three hydroxyl (–OH) groups.
Reactivity: Combines tertiary amine (base) and alcohol functionalities.
Concrete Additives:
Grinding aid in cement production (improves mill efficiency and powder flow).
Surfactants & Emulsifiers:
Precursor for cationic surfactants (e.g., quaternary ammonium compounds).
Corrosion Inhibitors:
Used in metalworking fluids and coolants.
Pharmaceutical/Chemical Synthesis:
Building block for drug intermediates and chelating agents.
Irritant: Causes skin/eye irritation.
Low volatility: High boiling point (~250–300°C).
Storage: Keep in sealed containers away from strong oxidizers.
Summary: A multifunctional amino alcohol primarily used in cement grinding aids and specialty surfactants. Its triple hydroxyl/amine structure enables chelation and surface activity.
