Aminomethanol or methanolamine is the amino alcohol with the chemical formula of H₂NCH₂OH. With an amino group and an alcohol group on the same carbon atom, the compound is also an hemiaminal.[1]

In aqueous solution, methanolamine exists in equilibrium with formaldehyde and ammonia.[2] It is an intermediate en route to hexamethylenetetramine.[3] The reaction can be conducted in gas phase and in solution.
