Question

Write the structure of all the eight isomeric amines having molecular formula

C_{4} H_{11} N

. Classify them as primary, secondary and tertiary amines and also as simple and mixed amines. Write their IUPAC names.

Accepted Answer

The IUPAC names along with their corresponding structures of $C_{4} H_{11} N$ are given below:

N-methyl propanamine ( $2^{0}$ , mixed amine) - ${CH}_{3} - {CH}_{2} - {CH}_{2} - NH - {CH}_{3}$

N-ethylethanamine ( $2^{0}$ , simple amine) - ${CH}_{3} - {CH}_{2} - NH - {CH}_{2} - {CH}_{3}$

Butanamine $(1^{0})$ , simple amine - ${CH}_{3} - {CH}_{2} - {CH}_{2} - {CH}_{2} - {NH}_{2}$
4.Butan-2-amine $(1^{0})$ , simple amine

5. 2-Methylpropanamine $(1^{0})$ , simple amine

6. 2-Methylpropan-2-amine, simple amine
$(1^{0})$
7. N-Methylpropan-2-amine, mixed amine
$(2^{0})$

8. N,N-dimethylethanamine, mixed amine
$(2^{0})$

Now, we know that all primary amines exhibit functional isomerism with secondary and tertiary amines.

Primary isomerism: compounds 3, 4, 1 and 7 exhibit position isomerism.

Chain isomerism: compounds 3 and 5, 3 and 6, 4 and 5, 4 and 6 exhibit chain isomerism

Metamerism: compounds 1, 2 and 2, 7 exhibit metamerism

Write the structure of all the eight isomeric amines having molecular formula $C_{4} H_{11} N$ . Classify them as primary, secondary and tertiary amines and also as simple and mixed amines. Write their IUPAC names.
