6-Amino-1-hexanol is an organic compound with the formula H2N(CH2)6OH. It is a colorless, water-soluble solid.
Hexahydro-1H-azepine can be produced by cyclizing 6-amino-1-hexanol over copper supported on alumina and magnesia. It can be combined with glutaric acid to create poly(ester amides) that are effective at producing films and fibers.
6-Amino-1-hexanol is a versatile product with a wide range of benefits. It is an effective monomer in synthesizing some polymers, such as polyesters and polyurethanes. It is employed as a chain extender in polyurethanes, and the modified polyurethane produced has a low glass transition temperature and a high resistance to hydrolysis.
6-Amino-1-hexanol has low toxicity and low flammability and is generally considered safe. It might, however, irritate mucous membranes or the respiratory system. The compound’s dust or vapor might irritate or harm the eyes.
The solubility of 6-amino-1-hexanol is determined by its reaction with solvents. Its neutral amino and hydroxyl groups make it more soluble in polar solvents such as water, methanol, and ethanol but less so in nonpolar solvents such as hexane.
The melting point of 6-Amino-1-hexanol, a chemical substance, is at 54.0 °C – 57.0 °C. This feature is critical for understanding its physical behaviour and uses, especially in the medicines and organic synthesis sectors.
