ethanolamine (CAS NO.: ), with other names as 6-Cyclohexyl-1-hydroxy-4-methyl-2(1H)-pyridinone 2-aminoethanol, could be produced through the following synthetic routes.

Compound can be prepared in two different ways: 1) The reaction of methyl 5-oxo-5-cyclohexyl-3-methylpentenoate (I) with NH₂OH gives the corresponding oxime (II), which is then cyclized to 6-cyclohexyl-1-hydroxy-4-methyl-2(1H)-pyridone (III). Finally, this compound is salified with ethanolamine (IV). 2) Compound (III) can also be obtained by reaction of 6-cyclohexyl-4-methyl-2-pyron (V) with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in hot 2-aminopyridine.
