Benzenemethanamine, N-cyclohexyl-a-methyl-

Description:

Benzenemethanamine, N-cyclohexyl-α-methyl- (CAS 116692-81-0) is an organic compound characterized by its amine functional group and a cyclohexyl substituent. This compound features a benzene ring attached to a methanamine group, with an additional α-methyl group that enhances its steric properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. The presence of the cyclohexyl group contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics, making it less soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents. The compound may exhibit basic properties due to the amine group, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including alkylation and acylation. Its structure suggests potential applications in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as amines can be irritants and may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
