alpha-(Methylaminomethyl)benzyl alcohol Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

WHITE FINE CRYSTALLINE NEEDLES

Uses

α-(Methylaminomethyl)benzyl alcohol was used in the synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepines. It was also used as internal standard during determination of pseudoephedrine and phenylpropanolamine urine concentrations by HPLC. And 2-(Methylamino)-1-phenylethanol is a reagent used in the synthesis of novel hydrazine inhibitors for human vascular adhesion protein-1.

Definition

ChEBI: alpha-(Methylaminomethyl)benzyl alcohol is an alkaloid that is ethanolamine having the phenyl group at the 1-position and a methyl group attached to the nitrogen. It has been isolated from Halostachys caspica. It has a role as a human metabolite and a plant metabolite. It is an alkaloid and a member of phenylethanolamines. It is a conjugate base of a N-methylphenylethanolaminium.
