N-Butylamine
''n''-Butylamine is an organic compound (specifically, an amine) with the formula CH3(CH2)3NH2. This colourless liquid is one of the four isomeric amines of butane, the others being ''sec''-butylamine, ''tert''-butylamine, and isobutylamine. It is a liquid having the fishy, ammonia-like odor common to amines. The liquid acquires a yellow color upon storage in air. It is soluble in all organic solvents. Vapors heavier than air and it produces toxic oxides of nitrogen during combustion. Synthesis and reactions It is produced by the reaction of ammonia and alcohols over alumina: :CH3(CH2)3OH + NH3 → CH3(CH2)3NH2 + H2O ''n''-Butylamine is a weak base. The pKa of H3(CH2)3NH3sup>+ is 10.78. ''n''-Butylamine exhibits reactions typical of other simple alkyl amines, i.e., alkylation, acylation, condensation with carbonyls. It forms complexes with metal ions, examples being ''cis''- and ''trans''- tI2(NH2Bu)2 Uses This compound is used as an ingredient in the manufacture o ...

Tert-Butylamine
''tert''-Butylamine is an organic chemical compound with the formula (CH3)3CNH2. It is a colorless liquid with a typical amine-like odor. ''tert''-Butylamine is one of the four isomeric amines of butane, the others being ''n''-butylamine, ''sec''-butylamine and isobutylamine. Preparation ''tert''-Butylamine is produced commercially by direct amination of isobutylene using zeolite catalysts: :NH3 + CH2=C(CH3)2 → H2NC(CH3)3 The Ritter reaction of isobutene with hydrogen cyanide is not useful because it produces too much waste. :(CH3)2C=CH2 + HCN + H2O → (CH3)3CNHCHO :(CH3)3CNHCHO + H2O → (CH3)3CNH2 + HCO2H In the laboratory, it can be prepared by the hydrogenolysis of 2,2-dimethylethylenimine, or via ''tert''-butylphthalimide. Uses ''tert''-Butylamine is used as an intermediate in the preparation of the sulfenamide Sulfenamides (also spelled sulphenamides) are a class of organosulfur compounds characterized by the general formula RSNR'2, wh ...

Sec-Butylamine
''sec''-Butylamine is an organic chemical compound (specifically, an amine) with the formula CH3CH2CH(NH2)CH3. It is a colorless liquid. ''sec''-Butylamine is one of the four isomeric amines of butane, the others being ''n''-butylamine, ''tert''-butylamine, and isobutylamine. ''sec''-Butylamine is chiral and therefore can exist in either of two enantiomeric forms. ''sec''-Butylamine is used in the production of some pesticides. : 192 px, left, Bromacil, a commercial herbicide, is produced from ''sec''-butylamine.United States Environmental Protection Agency.
