Applications
The reactions of 1-hexanol with benzylamine and with 4-methylbenzylamine led to the corresponding imines in moderate yields. 4-methylbenzylamine in ethanol/water solution (1:4) as simultaneously absorbing and buffering background electrolyte with detection at 210 nm was found suitable for determination of the individual compounds in determination by capillary zone electrophoresis with indirect detection. Synthesis of benzimidazoles uses 4-methylbenzylamine (R 1 =4-MeBn) and 4-chlorophenyl isothiocyanate (R 2 =4-ClPh) as building blocks.

Solubility
Slightly soluble in water.

Notes
Store in cool place. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Store away from strong oxidizing agents.
