Product Description:

(S)-(-)-1-Phenylpropan-1-amine, also known as (S)-(-)-1-Amino-1-phenylpropane, is a chiral primary amine with the molecular formula C9H13N. It is the (S)-enantiomer of 1-phenylpropylamine and serves as a key chiral building block in organic synthesis. This compound is primarily recognized as a precursor or intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical agents. Its most notable application is in the production of selegiline (also known as L-deprenyl), a selective and irreversible monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B) inhibitor used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease and major depressive disorder. The chiral (S)-configuration is crucial for the desired biological activity of the final drug molecule. As a chiral amine synthon, it is valuable in asymmetric synthesis and medicinal chemistry research for constructing molecules with defined stereocenters. It should be handled with care as amines can be corrosive and may cause skin and respiratory irritation.
