CAS 625-30-9: 2-Pentanamine

Description: 2-Pentanamine, also known as amylamine, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C5H13N. It is classified as a primary amine, characterized by the presence of an amino group (-NH2) attached to the second carbon of a pentane chain. This structure imparts specific properties to the compound, including its ability to act as a nucleophile in various chemical reactions. 2-Pentanamine is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic amine odor. It is soluble in water due to the polar nature of the amino group, which allows for hydrogen bonding. The compound has a relatively low boiling point compared to larger amines, reflecting its smaller molecular size. 2-Pentanamine is used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as a building block in organic chemistry. It is important to handle this substance with care, as amines can be irritants and may pose health risks upon exposure. Proper safety measures should be taken when working with 2-pentanamine in laboratory or industrial settings.
