4-Methylbenzylamine Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Colorless to light yellow liqui

Uses

4-Methylbenzylamine is a methylated benzylamine used in the preparation of various bioactive compounds such as anticonvulsants. 4-Methylbenzylamine has been shown to stimulate food consumption and cou nteract the hypophagic effects of amphetamine acting on brain Shaker-like Kv1.1 channels.

Uses

The reactions of 1-hexanol with benzylamine and with 4-methylbenzylamine led to the corresponding imines in moderate yields. 4-methylbenzylamine in ethanol/water solution (1:4) as simultaneously absorbing and buffering background electrolyte with detection at 210 nm was found suitable for determination of the individual compounds in determination by capillary zone electrophoresis with indirect detection. Synthesis of benzimidazoles uses 4-methylbenzylamine (R 1 =4-MeBn) and 4-chlorophenyl isothiocyanate (R 2 =4-ClPh) as building blocks.
