What type of amine is tert-Butyl amine?

Options

  1. A2^ amine
  2. B1^ amine
  3. C3^ amine
  4. Dquaternary ammonium salt

Correct answer

B. 1^ amine

Step-by-step solution

The structure of tert-butyl amine is (CH₃)₃C-NH₂ . The degree of an amine is determined by the number of alkyl or aryl groups directly attached to the nitrogen atom. In tert-butyl amine, the nitrogen atom is attached to only one carbon atom (the tert-butyl group). Since there is only one alkyl group attached to the nitrogen atom, it is a primary ( 1^ ) amine. Answer: 1^ amine
