2-Buten-1-amine, hydrochloride

Description:

2-Buten-1-amine, hydrochloride is an organic compound characterized by its amine functional group and a double bond in its carbon chain. As a hydrochloride salt, it is typically encountered in a solid form, which enhances its stability and solubility in water. The compound features a four-carbon backbone with a double bond between the first and second carbon atoms, and an amine group (-NH2) attached to the terminal carbon. This structure imparts both nucleophilic and basic properties to the molecule, making it reactive in various chemical reactions, such as alkylation and acylation. The presence of the hydrochloride group indicates that it can exist in a protonated form, which is often more soluble in polar solvents. 2-Buten-1-amine, hydrochloride may be used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety data should be consulted, as amines can be irritants and may pose health risks upon exposure.
