General description

(S)-(−)-α-Methylbenzylamine is a chiral derivatizing agent, which is employed for derivatizing enantiomers into diastereoisomers.

Application

(S)-(−)-α-Methylbenzylamine may be used as a chiral derivatizating reagent for the determination of acetyl-D-carnitine (D-AC) in acetyl-L-carnitine (L-AC) using high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) enantioseparation method.

Two types of chiral analytes, the urea and amide derivatives of alpha-phenylethylamine, were prepared. The effect of inter-molecular hydrogen-bonding interaction on self-discrimination of the enantiomers of analytes has been investigated using high-resolution (1)H NMR. It was found that the urea

Free fatty acids were derivatized as amides (DFFA) by reaction with (R)-(+)-1-phenylethylamine, using a simple, fast and robust reaction scheme. A HPLC method with diode array and ESI MS detection was developed for the analysis of the derivatized substances. Six

For biocatalytic production of pharmaceutically important chiral amines the ω-transaminase enzymes have proven useful. Engineering of these enzymes has to some extent been accomplished by rational design, but mostly by directed evolution. By use of a homology model a key

Chiral para-tert-butylcalix[4]arene bearing (S)-alpha-methylbenzylamine groups at lower rim only self-assembles with one of two enantiomers of 2,3-dibenzoyltartaric acid into coiled nanofibers and the coiled nanofibers only stack with the nanofibers having the same handedness to construct bigger ribbon-like fibers bearing

Enzyme immobilization often improves process economics, but changes in kinetic properties may also occur. The immobilization of a recombinant thermostable (S)-aminotransferase was made by entrapment on calcium alginate-3% (w/v)-and tested with (S)-(-)-(alpha)-methylbenzylamine for acetophenone production. The best immobilization results were
