Chemical Structure and Reactivity

• Structure: A chiral compound with the formula , containing an amino group  and a phenyl ring attached to a chiral carbon.
• Key Reactions:
  1. Basicity: The amino group reacts with acids to form salts (e.g., hydrochloride salt).
  2. Acylation & Alkylation: Reacts with acyl chlorides or alkyl halides to form amides or secondary/tertiary amines.
  3. Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution: The phenyl ring undergoes halogenation, nitration, or sulfonation at the ortho/para positions due to the electron-donating effect of the amino group (indirectly via the alkyl chain).
  4. Chiral Reactions: Enantiomers (R and S) exhibit different biological activities and can be resolved using chiral acids or catalysts.

Applications

1. Pharmaceutical Intermediates
   • Used in synthesizing drugs such as:
     • Sympathomimetics (e.g., bronchodilators) due to its structural similarity to amphetamines;
     • Chiral precursors for antidepressants, antipsychotics, and antihistamines.
2. Organic Synthesis
   • Serves as a chiral building block for preparing optically active compounds (e.g., pesticides, fragrances, and liquid crystals).
3. Chemical Intermediates
   • Used in dye synthesis, emulsifiers, and as a reagent in asymmetric catalysis.

Safety and Handling

• Hazards:
  • Flammable liquid; vapor may ignite with sparks.
  • Toxic if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through skin; causes skin/eye irritation and respiratory tract irritation.
• Precautions:
  • Use in well-ventilated areas; wear gloves, goggles, and protective clothing.
  • Store away from oxidizers and acids.
• Regulations: Classified as a hazardous chemical (e.g., EU CLP Regulation: H226, H302, H315, H335).
