General description

4-Benzylaniline (4-BA) undergoes hydrochlorination in the presence of HCl to yield 4-benzylaniline hydrochloride. Crystals of 4-BA exhibit monoclinic crystal system and space group P21/c.

Application

4-Benzylaniline (4-Aminodiphenylmethane) can be used to synthesize:
  • 2-amino-6-benzylbenzothiazole (SKA-7)
  • ethyl 2-((4-benzylphenylamino)methylen)-malonate
  • bis(4-benzylphenyl)-urea
  • 3:5-dibromo-4-aminodiphenylmethane via treatment with bromine solution
  • 3:5-di-iodo-4-aminodiphenylmethane via iodination reaction by using a suitable iodinating reagent[sodium iodate + potassium iodide]
