Application

4-Methoxybenzylamine is a primary amine and can be used for:
  • Amination reaction of functionalized aryl bromides.
  • Synthesis of functionalized organopolyphosphazenes for in vivo applications.
  • Synthesis of analogs of myoseverin, 8-azapurine, for their antiproliferative activities.
  • Studying the deprotection procedures of amino protecting groups such as 2-nitro- and 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonamides.
