Chemical compound

Tribenzylamine is an organic compound with the formula N(CH2C6H5)3. It is a symmetrical tertiary amine. It is of some historic interest as one of the first compounds produced by the Leuckart reaction.

The compound is a common target in the development of new synthetic methods, e.g. from benzyl alcohol.
