General Description

α-Methylbenzylamine is a nitrogen source that is widely used as a representative substrate to study the chemo-enzymatic kinetic resolution of primary amines.

Flammability and Explosibility

Non flammable

Purification Methods

Dissolve the amine in toluene, dry over NaOH and distil; fraction boiling at 187-188o/atm is collected. Store it under N2 to avoid forming the carbamate and urea. Similarly for the S-(-) enantiomer [2627-86-3]. [Ingersoll Org Synth Coll Vol II 503 1943, Robinson & Snyder Org Synth Coll Vol III 717 1955, Beilstein 12 IV 2424, 2425.]
