Stability

For related (2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium lactates, an optimal pseudo-pH range of 6.4-6.7 was observed in condensation reactions. Thermal decomposition typically begins at approximately 150°C, with further degradation processes, including the expulsion of the first water molecule, also occurring around this temperature.
