Is N-Benzylethanolamine the same substance as phenylethanolamine?

No. N-Benzylethanolamine, CAS 104-63-2, is 2-(benzylamino)ethanol, with a hydroxyethyl group attached to nitrogen. Phenylethanolamine has different atom connectivity. Match the product by full name, CAS number, structure and identity data rather than by the similar shortened names.

Which batch controls are useful when purchasing N-Benzylethanolamine?

Typical commercial specifications distinguish GC assay from neutralization-titration assay and may also control water, color, appearance, specific gravity and related amines. Define the required limits and methods, then confirm inert-gas or air-exposure controls, container size and the current COA, TDS and SDS for the offered grade.

N-Benzylethanolamine CAS 104-63-2

N-Benzylethanolamine, also called 2-(benzylamino)ethanol, CAS 104-63-2, EC 203-221-2, is a secondary amino alcohol with molecular formula C₉H₁₃NO and molecular weight 151.21 g/mol. For purchasing and route qualification, confirm amino-alcohol identity, assay, water, benzylamine, ethanolamine derivatives, color and performance in the intended synthesis.

Identity and physicochemical profile

Item	Technical guidance
Correct identity	N-Benzylethanolamine; 2-(benzylamino)ethanol
CAS / EC	104-63-2 / 203-221-2
Formula / molecular weight	C₉H₁₃NO / 151.21 g/mol
Functional character	Secondary amine and primary alcohol within one molecule
Key purchase controls	Identity, GC or HPLC assay, water, benzylamine, ethanolamine derivatives, dibenzylated amine, residual solvents, color and amine value
Identity qualification	Confirm the secondary amino alcohol structure and distinguish it from benzyl alcohol, benzylamine, ethanolamine and salt forms

Applications and grade selection

N-Benzylethanolamine may be evaluated in amino-alcohol, heterocycle, surfactant-intermediate and other controlled organic synthesis routes. Both the secondary amine and alcohol can react, so chemoselectivity, water, amine value and route-derived impurities should be qualified in the buyer’s process.

Confirm structure and distinguish it from benzylamine, ethanolamine and N,N-dibenzylethanolamine.
Define assay, water, amine value, color and individual route-derived impurity limits.
Compare reaction selectivity, conversion, work-up and downstream impurity carryover at small scale.

Storage and handling

Keep sealed in compatible packaging away from acids, oxidizers, moisture and excessive heat under the current SDS and COA. Prevent carbon dioxide or water uptake when these affect the specification.

Safety, documentation and procurement

Amino alcohols can be corrosive or irritating depending on concentration and exposure. Use ventilation and suitable personal protection. Procurement should specify methods, limits, quantity, package, destination and documents.
