Description

(R)-(+)-N-Benzyl-1-phenylethylamine is an enantiomer of phenylethylamine. It is a chiral, vinylic amine that can be used to produce catalytic asymmetric Grignard reactions. The synthesis of this compound starts with the addition of benzyl chloride to 1-phenylethylamine. This reaction produces (R)-(+)-N-benzyl-1-phenylethylamine as the major product and its corresponding bisulfate salt as the minor product. This compound has been shown to be an anti HIV drug in a number of studies, which may be due to its ability to inhibit reverse transcriptase and/or prevent viral entry into cells.
