Application

(S)-(−)-N-Benzyl-α-methylbenzylamine can be used:
  • In one of the key synthetic steps for the preparation of a cardioprotective drug named CP-060S.
  • To prepare (1S,2S,3S,5R)-tert-butyl 3-[benzyl((S)-1-phenylethyl)amino]-6,6-dimethylbicyclo[3.1.1]heptane-2-carboxylate, an intermediate used to synthesize pinane-based β- and γ-amino acids.
  • To prepare urea derivatives as potent antimicrobial agents.
