PhenylAcetaLdehyde
Phenylacetaldehyde (PAL) is a chemical used in food, fragrances, and in the synthesis of chemicals. Phenylacetaldehyde can be condensed with
ethylamine to make Phenylacetaldehyde ethylimine, then reacted with either methylmagnesium iodide in
diethyl ether (or
dibutyl ether) to yield Ethylamphetamine or with ethylmagnesium chloride in diethyl ether (or dibutyl ether) to yield DEPEA (N,a-DiEthylPhenEthylAmine).Physical Properties:Appearance: colorless to pale yellow clear oily liquid (est)
