Description

(S)-1-(3-Methoxyphenyl)ethanamine is a chiral amine that is used in the preparation of methylbenzylamines and other reductive amines. The synthesis of this compound involves a reductive amination reaction between aniline and methoxybenzaldehyde, followed by filtration to remove excess methoxybenzaldehyde. This process was found to be efficient for the preparation of methyl benzylamines with high yield, high enantioselectivity, and short reaction times. Strategies for improving the efficiency of this process include using chiral catalysts and applying preparative scale chromatography.
