1-Phenylethylamine is the organic compound with the formula C₆H₅CH(NH₂)CH₃. This primary amine is a colorless liquid is often used in chiral resolutions. Like benzylamine, it is relatively basic and forms stable ammonium salts and imines.

Preparation and optical resolution

1-Phenylethylamine may be prepared by the reductive amination of acetophenone:^[1]

C₆H₅C(O)CH₃ + NH₃ + H₂ → C₆H₅CH(NH₂)CH₃ + H₂O

The Leuckart reaction, using ammonium formate, is another method for this transformation.^[2]

L-malic acid is used to resolve 1-Phenylethylamine, a versatile resolving agent in its own right. The dextrorotatory enantiomer crystallizes with the malate, leaving the levorotatory form in solution.^[3]
