2-(Dimethylamino)ethyl benzoate Cas 2208-05-1

UV Photoinitiation Co-initiator: Used in conjunction with hydrogen-abstracting photoinitiators (such as benzophenones) to significantly enhance the curing efficiency of UV inks, wood varnishes, photoresists, and 3D printing resins, while reducing yellowing.
Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A core building block for the synthesis of ester-based local anesthetics; used to produce active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) containing dimethylamino ester structures via nitration and subsequent reduction of the benzene ring.
Organic Synthesis Raw Material: Functions as a tertiary amine nucleophile and an esterification catalyst; used in the synthesis of Schiff bases and heterocyclic compounds, and as a low-temperature curing accelerator for epoxy resins.
Other Fine Chemicals: Dispersion aid for water-based and solvent-based coatings; buffer solvent for polymerization reactions; also used in small quantities as a leveling agent in textile printing and dyeing.
