1,2-Bis(2-aminoethoxy)ethane | CAS 929-59-9
Hydrophilic Diamine Building Block for Polymers, Chelators, and Bioconjugates
Product Overview
1,2-Bis(2-aminoethoxy)ethane (also known as Diglycolamine, CAS 929-59-9) is a flexible, hydrophilic diamine widely used as a multifunctional intermediate in the synthesis of specialty polymers, chelating agents, and biologically active conjugates. Its ether-bridged ethylene backbone and terminal primary amines make it highly reactive while retaining water solubility and low toxicity.
This compound is frequently chosen as a spacer or linker molecule in PEGylated or drug delivery systems, as well as in epoxy curing systems, ion exchange resins, and chelator design for metal binding. With a high purity grade (≥99%) and reliable supply chain, Chemlyte Solutions supports both R&D and bulk-scale production.
