Applications & Uses

Uses

3-Methylbenzylamine ({(3-chlorophenyl)methanamine}) has been used as a templating agent in the synthesis of amine-templated materials containing two-dimensional lithium beryllofluoride sheets of the stoichiometry [LiBeF(4)](-). It has also been used to study the chromatographic behavior of a series of substituted aniline and pyridine basic compounds on C18 bonded silica.
