Glycinol is a simple organic compound with the chemical formula C2H7NO. It is the amino alcohol derivative of glycine, the simplest amino acid. Structurally, glycinol can be thought of as glycine where the carboxylic acid group has been reduced to a primary alcohol group. It is also known as 2-aminoethanol or ethanolamine. Glycinol is a colorless, viscous liquid at room temperature and is miscible with water and ethanol. It has a characteristic ammoniacal odor.
The synthesis of glycinol can be achieved through various methods, including the reduction of glycine esters
