4phenylmethylamine
4-phenylmethylamine, also known as 4-aminobenzyl alcohol or para-aminobenzyl alcohol, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C7H9NO. It is a derivative of benzyl alcohol where a hydrogen atom on the para position of the benzene ring is replaced by an amino group (-NH2). This compound exists as a solid at room temperature and is typically white or off-white in appearance.
The presence of both an alcohol group and an amine group makes 4-phenylmethylamine a bifunctional molecule.
4-phenylmethylamine finds applications in the synthesis of various organic compounds, including pharmaceuticals, dyes, and polymers. It
