Chapter 1.3, Problem 1.9P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structural formulas for three secondary amines with the molecular formula ${\text{C}}_{\text{4}}{\text{H}}_{\text{11}}\text{N}$ has to be drawn

Concept introduction:

Isomer: A molecule having same molecular formula with different chemical formula is called isomer.

Amine:

The compound contains amine $\left({\text{NH}}_{\text{2}}\right)$ group, which is bonded with carbon atom is called as amine.

Example is given below

Classification of amines:

Amines can be classified in to three types, Primary, Secondary, Tertiary

Primary amine:

Nitrogen atom ($\text{N}$) is bonded with two hydrogen atoms and one alkyl or aryl group is called primary amine.

Secondary amine:

Nitrogen atom ($\text{N}$) is bonded with one hydrogen atoms and two alkyl or aryl group (two substituent) is called secondary amine.

Tertiary amine:

Nitrogen atom ($\text{N}$) is bonded with three alkyl or aryl group (three substituent) is called tertiary amine.
