Hi /sci/, I have a question in chemistry for you all today.
Is it possible to make phenyl ring modifications to pure phenethylamine in any way, shape, or form, without touching the ethylamine? would the addition of an amylase or something help change the reaction position? How would I go about substituting phenethylamine or adding ketones to the benzene ring?

You would have to oxidised it

Okay, what do you mean? oxidize the nitrogen? how? LiCl + air exposure?

Wink wink CO2 from carbonation.

and youre telling me to just add CO2? i dont really believe that would work.

>>10217937 is right but only half an answer

The carbon dioxide would be the oxidant in this case but instead of LiCl like you suggest you would use a mercury amalgam which is more reactive

T. Mathfag whos models are proven limited for most quantum modelling so he shits on mechanisms that are beyond his 1+1 mind

A handful of carbamates (Boc, Fmoc, etc) are well established protective groups for amines, and there are other groups which are not carbamates.
This thread is painfull to read.
