Product Information

• Name: 4-Methoxybenzylamine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Methoxybenzylamine is an organic amine that has a redox potential of -0.14 V (vs. SHE) and a pK a of 10.5. It is used in the synthesis of trifluoroacetic acid esters, which are used as pharmaceutical intermediates. 4-Methoxybenzylamine has been shown to be effective in alleviating pain in animal models, and its mechanism of action may be due to inhibition of the enzyme cyclooxygenase. The kinetic data for this reaction were obtained by studying the deuterium isotope effect, which is characterized by a low energy barrier and rapid reaction rate. The hydrolysis step is also important for the reaction mechanism, with protocatechuic acid being an intermediate product. Hydrochloric acid is needed for dehydration of the reactants, while an aryl halide can be used instead in some cases. In these reactions, there are many possible reaction
