CAS 21981-37-3: N-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)-2-methyl-2-propanamine
Description:N-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)-2-methyl-2-propanamine, also known as tert-butyl-2-methylpropan-1-amine, is an organic compound characterized by its branched alkyl structure. It features a tert-butyl group, which contributes to its steric bulk, and an amine functional group, making it a secondary amine. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive amine odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic tert-butyl group. The presence of the amine group allows it to participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and hydrogen bonding. Its unique structure imparts properties that may be useful in applications such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or as a building block in organic synthesis. Safety data indicates that, like many amines, it should be handled with care due to potential irritant effects on the skin and respiratory system. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances is recommended to maintain its stability.
