Application

Tribenzylamine (TBA) is a tertiary amine which can be used :
  • As a nitrogen group source for the reactions involving C−N bond formation.
  • For the synthesis of imine i.e. N−benzylidene benzylamine by aerobic oxidative condensation.
  • As an extractant for the separation and determination of Cr(VI) and Cr(III) from wastewater.

TBA can also undergo debenzylation in the presence of ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) to form dibenzylamine.

Nowadays, Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) is mainly used in forensic sciences but suffers from limitations when the analysed compounds are thermally instable as it is the case for THC-A (Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid) which is converted into Δ9-THC (Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol) that subsequently

A gyroscope-inspired tribenzylamine hemicryptophane provides a vehicle for exploring the structure and properties of multiple p-phenylene rotators within one molecule. The hemicryptophane was synthesized in three steps in good overall yield using mild conditions. Three rotator-forming linkers were cyclized to
