Common Name2-Amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol
Description2-Amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol is a member of the class of amino alcohols, specifically a diol, characterized by its two hydroxyl groups and an amino group attached to a branched carbon chain. Its chemical structure features a central carbon atom bonded to both an amino group and two hydroxyl groups, contributing to its hydrophilic properties. This compound has been implicated in various biochemical pathways, including its role in the gut microbiota-hypothalamic axis, where it interacts with other metabolites such as 1,3-dicyclohexylurea and 3-chloroaniline (PMID:40072466 ). Additionally, 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol has demonstrated significant potential in thermal energy applications, exhibiting supercooling behavior and high latent heat storage capacity, making it suitable for thermal energy recycling (PMID:40430378 ; PMID:38379786 ). Furthermore, it has been studied for its efficacy in CO2 capture mechanisms, highlighting its relevance in environmental chemistry (PMID:37764223 ). Its interactions with other compounds, such as fatty acids for softener synthesis and its effects on skin sebum, further illustrate its versatility in both chemical and biological contexts (PMID:35761929 ; PMID:33352878 ).
