Normalbutylamine

Normalbutylamine is an organic compound with the chemical formula C4H11N. It is a primary amine, meaning it has a nitrogen atom directly bonded to a hydrogen atom. Normalbutylamine is a colorless liquid with a characteristic amine odor. It is soluble in water and most organic solvents.

Normalbutylamine is primarily used as a building block in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other organic compounds. It is also used as a catalyst in some chemical reactions. Due to its amine group, it can act as a base and react with acids to form salts.

Normalbutylamine is classified as a volatile organic compound (VOC) and can contribute to air pollution. It is also a potential health hazard, as it can cause irritation to the eyes, skin, and respiratory system. Inhalation of high concentrations can lead to more serious health effects, including central nervous system depression.

Normalbutylamine is not considered to be a persistent or bioaccumulative pollutant. However, its use and release into the environment should be carefully managed to minimize potential impacts on human health and the environment.
