Uses N-Isopropylbenzylamine, can be used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds,and as a precursor to the manufacture of some drugs. Due to it’s similarity in appearance and physical properties to methamphetamine, it has been recently come under consideration of DEA.
Preparation N-benzylisopropylamine is synthesized by the reduction reaction of N-isopropylbenzamide or prepared from benzylamine and acetone by reductive amination reaction.
Application N-Isopropylbenzylamine was used as ligand in the preparation and characterization of bis(cyclopentadienyl)magnesium. It was also used in the synthesis of N-benzylideneisopropylamine-N-oxide.
General Description N-isopropylbenzylamine is a structural isomer of methamphetamine, is one of the most common adulterants. It forms amine adducts with magnesocene at ambient temperature in toluene.
