China and India are the leading exporters of 2-Aminophenol (CAS 95-55-6), accounting for the majority of global export volume in recent years, while the United States, Germany, and South Korea remain the largest importers. Import volumes into the U.S. and EU have remained relatively stable since 2022, despite modest fluctuations in 2-Aminophenol prices amid tightening chemical supply chains.
2-Aminophenol (CAS 95-55-6) is a white to light pink crystalline solid with a faint, characteristic odor; it melts at approximately 174 °C and sublimes readily. It is an aromatic organic compound classified as an ortho-substituted phenol and primary aromatic amine. As a versatile chemical intermediate, it is primarily used in the synthesis of azo dyes, sulfur dyes, and hair dye precursors, as well as in the production of pharmaceuticals—including antipyretic and anti-inflammatory agents—and agrochemicals such as fungicides and plant growth regulators. Its applications are concentrated in the dyes and pigments, pharmaceuticals, and crop protection industries.
2-Aminophenol is an isomer of 4-Aminophenol (A618920) and is used as a reagent for the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds and dyes.
o-Aminophenol appears as colorless needles or as white crystalline substance turning tan to brown on exposure to air.
