Application

4-Methoxyphenethylamine was used in the synthesis of :
  • pyrrolo[3,2-c]carbazole
  • poly(4-methoxyphenethylamine), required for the immobilization of nitrogenated bases and oligonucleotides
  • organopolyphosphazenes such as poly[bis(4-methoxy benzylamino)polyphosphazene] and poly[bis(4-methoxyphenethylamino)polyphosphazene]

General description

4-Methoxyphenethylamine inhibits the monoamine oxidase-catalyzed deamination of both tyramine and tryptamine.

4-Methoxyphenethylamine is used as a precursor for the synthesis of other organic compounds by the alkylation reaction.

This work describes the immobilization of purine and pyrimidine bases and immobilization/hybridization of synthetic oligonucleotides on graphite electrodes modified with poly(4-methoxyphenethylamine) produced in acid medium. The immobilization of adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine on these modified electrodes was efficient, producing
