How many primary amine isomeric forms are possible for the formula...

How many primary amine isomeric forms are possible for the formula C4H11N\text{C}_4\text{H}_{11}\text{N}?

Options

  1. A11
  2. B22
  3. C33
  4. D44

Correct answer

D. 44

Step-by-step solution

The general formula for a primary amine is R-NH2\text{R-NH}_2. For the molecular formula C4H11N\text{C}_4\text{H}_{11}\text{N}, the alkyl group R\text{R} is the butyl group, C4H9−\text{C}_4\text{H}_9-.

The butyl group has four structural isomers, which lead to four primary amines:

1. n-butylamine (Bu\tan^{-1}-amine): CH3CH2CH2CH2-NH2\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{-NH}_2

2. sec-butylamine (Butan-2-amine): CH3CH2CH(NH2)CH3\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CH}(\text{NH}_2)\text{CH}_3

3. isobutylamine (2-Methylpropan-1-amine): (CH3)2CHCH2-NH2(\text{CH}_3)_2\text{CHCH}_2\text{-NH}_2

4. tert-butylamine (2-Methylpropan-2-amine): (CH3)3C-NH2(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{C-NH}_2

Thus, there are 4 primary amine isomeric forms possible for C4H11N\text{C}_4\text{H}_{11}\text{N}.
