Propanolamine

In organic chemistry, propanolamine can describe any of the following parent compounds: The propanolamines include many derivatives where the amine is secondary or tertiary.
 * 2-Amino-1-propanol, the hydrogenated derivative of alanine.
 * 3-Amino-1-propanol, straight-chain and not widely used.
 * 3-Amino-2-propanol (1-Aminopropan-2-ol) (isopropanolamines), prepared by addition of amines to one or two equivalents of propylene oxide.

The parent propanolamines are colorless liquids with the formula C3H9NO.
