4-Methylbenzylamine, 98%

Description

CAS: 104-84-7 | C8H11N | 121.183 g/mol

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.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
