C10H13N

C10H13N is the molecular formula for several different chemical compounds, known as isomers. These isomers share the same number of carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen atoms but differ in their structural arrangement. A prominent example of a compound with this formula is N,N-diethylaniline. N,N-diethylaniline is an aromatic amine where two ethyl groups are attached to the nitrogen atom, which is itself bonded to a phenyl ring. This compound is typically a colorless to yellowish liquid with a characteristic amine odor. It finds use as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and as a solvent. Another isomer with the formula C10H13N is amyl cyanide, also known as pentyl cyanide. This compound is an aliphatic nitrile, featuring a five-carbon chain (amyl group) attached to a cyanide (-CN) functional group. Amyl cyanide is a colorless liquid and can be used in organic synthesis. Other less common isomers exist, each with unique physical and chemical properties due to their specific atomic configurations. The study of these isomers is important in organic chemistry for understanding structure-property relationships and for developing new synthetic pathways.
