2-Phenylethylamine hydrochloride Usage And Synthesis

Description

2-Phenethylamine is a natural monoamine alkaloid that acts as neuromodulator in the central nervous system. It stimulates the release of norepinephrine and dopamine and is metabolized by monoamine oxidases as well as other enzymes. This product is intended for forensic and research applications.

Chemical Properties

White to Light yellow powder to crystal. soluble in water, alcohol, ether.

Uses

2-Phenylethylamine hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt form of 2-Phenylethylamine, which is an biogenic aromatic amine acting as a monoaminergic neuromodulator or a neurotransmitter in the human central nervous system. It is used to CNS stimulant.

Preparation

In a nitrogen environment, add the aliphatic nitro derivatives (0.6 mmol), pinacol borane (3.6 mmol, 6.0 equiv), tetrahydrofuran (2 mL), triethylboron (5 mol%), and potassium tert-butoxide (5 mol %) into a 10 mL sealed tube and then place it in a 100 oil bath with heating and stirring for 24 hours. At the end of the reaction, add 2mL of 1M hydrochloric acid aqueous solution to the reaction solution and stir at room temperature for 6 h. Finally, 2-Phenylethylamine hydrochloride is obtained by filtration.

Safety Profile

Poison by skin contact, subcutaneous, and intravenous routes. A human eye irritant. A skin irritant and possible sensitizer. Human systemic effects by ingestion: blood pressure lowering, anorexia. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of
