Benzylamine is an organic chemical compound with the condensed structural formula C₆H₅CH₂NH₂. It consists of a benzyl group, C₆H₅CH2, attached to an amine functional group, NH₂. This colorless water-soluble liquid is a common precursor in organic chemistry and used in the industrial production of many pharmaceuticals. Benzylamine is mainly used in chemical synthesis, and for production of pesticides, polymer auxiliaries, pharmaceutical substances. Corrosive. Contact with skin causes burns. Vapours highly irritating to mucous membranes. Appearance: Benzylamine is colourless liquid with a characteristic amine-like odour • with strong alkaline properties. It is totally solvable in water. Benzylamine is mainly used in chemical synthesis, and for production of pesticides, polymer auxiliaries, pharmaceutical substances. Corrosive.
