General description

4-Aminobenzylamine is an aromatic amine. Diazonium cations of 4-aminobenzylamine were generated in situ with sodium nitrite in aqueous HCl, which were used for the modification of glassy carbon electrode by aryl groups having an aliphatic amine group.

Application

4-Aminobenzylamine may be used:
  • in the electrochemical modification of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), via oxidative coupling
  • in the preparation of a novel acridine-based amino acid
  • in the synthesis of two novel fluorescent Photoinduced Electron Transfer (PET) anion sensors, based on the principle of ′fluorophore-spacer-(anion)receptor′
  • in anodic coupling of SWCNTs
  • in the synthesis of polyacrylamide series containing salicylideneaniline moieties, by a double polymer analogous reaction with reactive precursor polymer poly(pentafluorophenylacrylate) (PPFPA)
