The Uses of DL-ALPHA-(METHYLAMINOMETHYL)BENZYL ALCOHOL

α-(Methylaminomethyl)benzyl alcohol was used in the synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepines. It was also used as internal standard during determination of pseudoephedrine and phenylpropanolamine urine concentrations by HPLC.

Definition

ChEBI: N-methylphenylethanolamine is an alkaloid that is ethanolamine having the phenyl group at the 1-position and a methyl group attached to the nitrogen. It has been isolated from Halostachys caspica. It has a role as a human metabolite and a plant metabolite. It is an alkaloid and a member of phenylethanolamines. It is a conjugate base of a N-methylphenylethanolaminium.

General Description

α-(Methylaminomethyl)benzyl alcohol is a potential substrate for studies involving phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase.
