3,4-(Methylenedioxy)aniline is an pharmaceutically important aniline derivative. It undergoes N-alkylation with cyclic secondary alkylamines in the presence of Shvo catalyst to yield N-arylpyrrolidines. 3,4-(Methylenedioxy)aniline was used in the synthesis of γ-glutamylanilides.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
