Alkanolamine

Alkanolamines are chemical compounds that contain both hydroxyl (-OH) and amino (-NH, -NHR, and -NR) functional groups on an alkane backbone. The term alkanolamine is a broad class term that is sometimes used as a subclassification.

Usage examples of "alkanolamine".

When an alkanolamine such as ethanolamine or aminopropanol is reacted with the mixed anhydride of lysergic and trifluoroacetic acids, the reaction product contains not only the desired hydroxy amide but also, to a minor extent, some ammo ester.
