Question

Give structural isomers of

C_{3} H_{9} N

and

C_{4} H_{11} N

and give their names. Classify each as primary, secondary and tertiary amines.

Accepted Answer

The structures of different isomers corresponding to the molecular formula, $C_{3} H_{9} N$ are given below:

$(a)$ $C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - N H_{2}$
Propan- $1$ -amine

$(b)$

Propan- $2$ -amine

$(c)$ $C H_{3} - N H - C_{2} H_{5}$
$N -$ Methylethanamine

$(d)$

$N, N -$ Dimethylmethanamine

The following isomeric structures are possible corresponding to molecular formula, $C_{4} H_{11} N$ . The functional group and the atoms in the molecules of these isomers are linked in different ways. The Structures of the isomers include:

The IUPAC names of the compounds include:

(i) Butan-1-amine (primary amine)

(ii) 2-methylpropan-1-amine (primary)

(iii) 3-Methylpropan-2-amine (primary)

(iv) Butan-2-amine (primary amine)

(v) N-ethylethanamine (secondary)

(vi) N-methylpropan-1-amine (secondary)

(vii) N-methylpropan-2-amine (secondary)

(viii) N,N-dimethylethanamine (tertiary)

Give structural isomers of $C_{3} H_{9} N$ and $C_{4} H_{11} N$ and give their names. Classify each as primary, secondary and tertiary amines.
