tertbutüülamiin

tert-Butylamine, also known as 2-amino-2-methylpropane or t-butylamine, is a chemical compound with the formula (CH₃)₃CNH₂. It is a primary amine and an isomer of butylamine. Structurally, it features a central carbon atom bonded to three methyl groups and one amino group. tert-Butylamine is a colorless liquid at room temperature with a characteristic ammoniacal odor. It is soluble in water and many organic solvents.

This compound is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various organic chemicals, including pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and rubber accelerators. Its bulky tert-butyl group can influence the reactivity and properties of molecules it is incorporated into, often providing steric hindrance. tert-Butylamine is flammable and should be handled with appropriate safety precautions. It is considered a moderately strong base due to the electron-donating effect of the alkyl groups, which increases the electron density on the nitrogen atom.
