Which of the following is a secondary amine ?A Aniline B Toluidine C Hexamethylene diamine D Ethylmethyl amine
Question
Which of the following is a secondary amine ?
A. Aniline
B. Toluidine
C. Hexamethylene diamine
D. Ethylmethyl amine
Solution
A secondary amine is an amine that has two organic substituents (alkyl, aryl or both) bound to the nitrogen atom.
A. Aniline is a primary amine because it has only one organic substituent (an aryl group) bound to the nitrogen atom.
B. Toluidine is also a primary amine because it has only one organic substituent (an aryl group) bound to the nitrogen atom.
C. Hexamethylene diamine is a diamine, meaning it has two amine groups. However, each of these amine groups is primary, not secondary.
D. Ethylmethyl amine is a secondary amine because it has two organic substituents (an ethyl group and a methyl group) bound to the nitrogen atom.
So, the answer is D. Ethylmethyl amine.
