General description
Benzylamine (BnNH2) is an aromatic amine widely used for the production of organic fine chemicals and many pharmaceutical compounds. It can be prepared by the hydrogenation of benzonitrile and reductive amination of benzaldehyde using a metal catalyst.
Benzylamine undergoes oxidative deamination reaction catalyzed by benzylamine oxidase and monoamine oxidase type B.
Application
- Benzylamine was used in modification of alkanethiol monolayers via amide and ester formation reactions for attachment onto metal electrodes.
- It was used as carrier electrolyte for separation of alkali, alkaline earth and ammonium cations in water samples by capillary electrophoresis with indirect UV detection.
- It was used in synthesis of cross-linked porous copolymer supports based on N-(p-vinylbenzoyl)-2-methylalanine, styrene and divinylbenzene.
