24methylphenylethan1amine

24methylphenylethan1amine, also known as 2-(4-methylphenyl)ethan-1-amine, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C9H13N. It is an amine, a class of organic compounds derived from ammonia, where one or more hydrogen atoms are replaced by alkyl or aryl groups. In this specific case, the molecule consists of an ethylamine chain attached to a p-tolyl group (a benzene ring substituted with a methyl group at the para position).

The compound can be synthesized through various organic reactions, often involving the reduction of a nitrile or an oxime precursor. Its chemical properties are influenced by the presence of both the amine functional group and the aromatic ring. The amine group is basic and can undergo reactions typical of primary amines, such as salt formation with acids and acylation. The aromatic ring can participate in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions, although the methyl group and the ethylamine substituent will influence the regioselectivity of such reactions.

Information regarding the specific applications, toxicology, or biological activity of 24methylphenylethan1amine is not widely documented in readily accessible scientific literature. As with many organic compounds, it may serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of more complex molecules in research or industrial settings. Further investigation into specialized chemical databases or scientific journals would be required to ascertain more detailed information about its properties and uses.
