substitute methylamine by propylamine in organic synthesis?


Many organic synthesis uses methylamine , as it is gasous state at room temperature, needs to cool below 6 C , can propylamine ( liquid at room temp) be used instead ? what are the pros and cons?

Thanks.

You arent making sense. You want to form the imine? What do you mean by "with hydroxy rearrangement of ketone"?

Madcow, you are wrong if you think that posting demented questions is better tolerated than posting questions on how to make ketamine from your made-in-china-precursor. Besides you can not make ketamine if you use anything else but methylamine. Methylamine is a reagent in this synthesis and as such it gets incorporated in the structure of the product. Therefore you can not use propylamine as that would give you a different product.



…there is a human touch of the cultist “believer” in every theorist that he must struggle against as being unworthy of the scientist. Some of the greatest men of science have publicly repudiated a theory which earlier they hotly defended. In this lies their scientific temper, not in the scientific defense of the theory. - Weston La Barre (Ghost Dance, 1972)
