Description

General description

Benzylamine (BnNH₂) is an aromatic amine widely used for the production of organic fine chemicals and many pharmaceutical compounds. It can be prepared by the hydrogenation of benzonitrile and reductive amination of benzaldehyde using a metal catalyst.

Benzylamine undergoes oxidative deamination reaction catalyzed by benzylamine oxidase and monoamine oxidase type B.

Application

• Benzylamine was used in modification of alkanethiol monolayers via amide and ester formation reactions for attachment onto metal electrodes.
• It was used as carrier electrolyte for separation of alkali, alkaline earth and ammonium cations in water samples by capillary electrophoresis with indirect UV detection.
• It was used in synthesis of cross-linked porous copolymer supports based on N-(p-vinylbenzoyl)-2-methylalanine, styrene and divinylbenzene.
