Chemical compound

1-Aminoethanol is the organic compound with the formula CH3CH(NH2)OH. It is classified as an alkanolamine. Specifically, it is a structural isomer of 2-aminoethanol (ethanolamine). These two compounds differ in the position of the amino group. Since the central carbon atom in 1-aminoethanol has four different substitutents, the compound has two stereoisomers, L-aminoethanol (shown) and R-aminoethanol. It is known as alanaminol because it has the same side chain as alanine. Unlike 2-aminoethanol, which is of considerable importance in commerce, 1-aminoethanol is not commonly encountered as a pure material and is mainly of theoretical interest.

1-Aminoethanol exists in a solution of acetaldehyde and ammonia. [[Alanaminol can react with formic acid to form the amino acid Alanine, releasing water.
