Application

N-Methyl-phenethylamine can be used as a reactant:
  • To synthesize N-methyl-phenethylamine based tertiary amines by reacting with different alkyl halides in the presence of triphenylphosphine (TPP) and diisopropylazocarboxylate (DIAD) via N-alkylation reaction.
  • To fabricate photochemically stable, super-sensitive, and highly selective fluorescent film for the detection of N-methamphetamine (an illicit drug).
  • To prepare biologically active squaric acid N-hydroxylamide amide derivatives.

A new type of metabolically trapped agent for measuring regional brain function was designed and evaluated. N-methylphenylethylamine (14C-MPEA) was synthesized with trifluoroacetylphenylethylamine and 14C-methyl iodide. A high concentration of 14C-MPEA accumulated in mouse brain 1 min after injection, and radioactivities
