Aminomethanol (also called "methanolamine")^[1] is the simplest aminoalcohol and has the chemical formula of CH₅NO. It contains both a primary amine and a primary alcohol. With both groups at the same carbon atom, it is also the simplest hemiaminal (derived from formaldehyde and ammonia).^[2] Like other amines, methanolamine acts as a weak base.^[3]

In aqueous solution, methanolamine may decompose into formaldehyde and ammonia.^[4]
