General description

α-(Methylaminomethyl)benzyl alcohol is a potential substrate for studies involving phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase.

Application

α-(Methylaminomethyl)benzyl alcohol was used in the synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepines. It was also used as internal standard during determination of pseudoephedrine and phenylpropanolamine urine concentrations by HPLC.

[structure] Two general routes to 1,4-disubstituted-2,3,4, 5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepines are described. Both routes utilize an appropriately functionalized phenethylamino alcohol as the penultimate intermediate: the first route makes use of the reductive amination of a benzyl alkyl ketone with alpha-(aminomethyl)benzyl alcohol, while the
