☒N (what is checkY☒N ?)

Neopentylamine is an organic compound with the molecular formula (CH3)3CCH2NH2. It is a colorless liquid. The molecule is the primary amine derivative of neopentane, (CH3)4C.

Like most alkyl amines, it degrades slowly in air.[1]

Synthesis

[edit]

Neopentylamine is prepared by the reaction of neopentyl alcohol with ammonia in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst.[2]

Use

[edit]

It is a common building block.[3] For example, some experimental drugs incorporate this amine.[4][5]
