N-METHYLPHENETHYLAMINE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

clear colorless to light yellow liquid

Uses

N-Methyl-phenethylamine can be used as a reactant:

• To synthesize N-methyl-phenethylamine based tertiary amines by reacting with different alkyl halides in the presence of triphenylphosphine (TPP) and diisopropylazocarboxylate (DIAD) via N-alkylation reaction.
• To fabricate photochemically stable, super-sensitive, and highly selective fluorescent film for the detection of N-methamphetamine (an illicit drug).
• To prepare biologically active squaric acid N-hydroxylamide amide derivatives.
