Basic Information

• Chemical Name : R(+)-alpha-Methylbenzylamine; R-1-Phenylethylamine
• CAS Number
• Molecular Formula : C 8 H 11 N
• Molecular Weight : 121.18 g/mol

• Appearance : Colorless to light yellow transparent liquid with characteristic amine odor.
• Optical Activity : [α] n 2 0  = +39.5° (c=1, ethanol). It exhibits dextrorotation due to the chiral carbon atom (bonded to methyl and amino groups).
• Density : 0.938 g/mL at 25°C
• Boiling Point : 184-186°C (atmospheric pressure)
• Melting Point : -60°C
• Solubility : Highly soluble in organic solvents like ethanol, diethyl ether, and chloroform; slightly soluble in water.
• Chemical Properties : As a primary amine, it shows typical amine reactivity, such as salt formation with acids, acylation, alkylation, and participation in nucleophilic substitution and condensation reactions.

• Chiral Resolution Reagent : As a chiral base, it resolves racemic organic acids (e.g., carboxylic acids, amino acids) by forming diastereomeric salts for separation.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate : Used in synthesizing chiral drugs like β-blockers, antidepressants, and antimicrobials. For example, as a key intermediate in some adrenergic drug syntheses.
• Organic Synthesis : Participates in preparing chiral amine compounds, catalyst ligands, or functional materials, leveraging its chiral induction to control reaction stereoselectivity.
• Analytical Chemistry : Serves as a standard for chiral chromatography (e.g., HPLC) or an optical rotation reference.

• Hazards :
  • Flammable; vapor forms explosive mixtures with air. Combustible and explosive when exposed to open flames or high heat.
  • Corrosive; contact with skin/eyes causes irritation or burns. Inhalation of vapor may irritate the respiratory tract.
• Safety Measures :
  • Wear protective gloves and goggles; operate in a fume hood.
  • Store in a cool, ventilated place, away from fire sources and oxidants; seal containers to prevent volatilization.
• Hazard Symbols : Xi (Irritant), F (Flammable)
