Description

Bis[(S)-1-phenylethyl]amine (BPEA) is an amide that is used as a synthetic intermediate in the process of alkylating and halogenating amines. BPEA is prepared by reacting phenethylamine with chloroacetic acid and phosphorous trichloride. It has been shown to have high efficiency in this reaction, with little impurities and a high yield. The product of this reaction can be purified using recrystallization or preparative thin-layer chromatography. BPEA is a ligand that contains a stereogenic center, which allows for the preparation of chiral compounds with great stereoselectivity. This synthetic intermediate can be used to prepare organometallic compounds in the presence of a phosphite ligand.
