  • Applications

    2-(Dimethylamino)-2-methylpropanol, CAS 7005-47-2, is used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of amine-containing compounds for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and polymers. It serves as a precursor to quaternary ammonium salts used as surfactants and phase-transfer catalysts, and can function as a polar solvent or co-solvent in chemical processing. The molecule’s tertiary amine and hydroxyl functionality also enable its use as a catalyst or additive in epoxy and polyurethane curing formulations, and as a building block for further functionalization to tailor reactivity in coatings, inks, or adhesive formulations. These properties support its role as a reactive intermediate, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
