Application

N-Methyl-phenethylamine can be used as a reactant:
  • To synthesize N-methyl-phenethylamine based tertiary amines by reacting with different alkyl halides in the presence of triphenylphosphine (TPP) and diisopropylazocarboxylate (DIAD) via N-alkylation reaction.
  • To fabricate photochemically stable, super-sensitive, and highly selective fluorescent film for the detection of N-methamphetamine (an illicit drug).
  • To prepare biologically active squaric acid N-hydroxylamide amide derivatives.

Methamphetamine is a popular drug of abuse, readily synthesized in clandestine laboratories. Illicitly obtained methamphetamine is frequently impure, containing various purposefully added diluents and adulterants, as well as impurities of manufacture and origin. Few impurities have been studied in vivo

A novel chiral stationary phase (CSP) for HPLC was prepared by bonding (R)-1-phenyl-2-(4-methylphenyl)ethylamine amide derivative of (S)-valine to aminopropyl silica gel through a 2-amino-3,5-dinitro-1-carboxamido-benzene unit. The CSP was used for the separation of some amino acid derivatives and pyrethroid insecticides
