Marks: +1, -0
(a) Write structures of different isomeric amines corresponding to the molecular formula, C4H11N\mathrm{C}_4\mathrm{H}_{11}\mathrm{N}.
(b) Write IUPAC names of all the isomers.
(c) What type of isomerism is exhibited by different pairs of amines?
Solution:  
(a and b)
Primary amines :
(i) CH3CH2CH2CH2NH2Butanamine\underset{\text{Butanamine}}{\mathrm{CH_3CH_2 CH_2 CH_2 NH_2}}
(ii) CH3CH2HNH3CCH3Butan-2-amine\underset{\text{Butan-2-amine}}{\mathrm{CH_3CH_2-}\underset{\underset{\mathrm{C}}{\underset{\mathrm{NH}_3}{\vert}}}{\mathrm{H}}\mathrm{-CH_3}}
(iii) CH3CCH3CH3NH22-Methylpropan-2-amine\underset{\text{2-Methylpropan-2-amine}}{\mathrm{CH_3-}\overset{\overset{\mathrm{CH}_3}{\vert}}{\underset{\underset{\mathrm{CH}_3}{\vert}}{\mathrm{C}}}\mathrm{-NH_2}}
(iv) CH3HCH3CCH2NH22-Methylpropan-1-amine\underset{\text{2-Methylpropan-1-amine}}{\mathrm{CH_3-}\overset{\vert^{\mathrm{CH}_3}\mathrm{C}}{\mathrm{H}}\mathrm{-CH_2-NH_2}}
(v) CH3CH2NHCH2CH3N-Ethylethanamine\underset{\text{N-Ethylethanamine}}{\mathrm{CH_3CH_2-NH-CH_2CH_3}}
(vi) CH3CH2CH2NHCH3N-Methylpropanamine\underset{\text{N-Methylpropanamine}}{\mathrm{CH_3CH_2CH_2-NH-CH_3}}
(vii) CH3HCH3CNHCH3N-Methylpropan-2-amine\underset{\text{N-Methylpropan-2-amine}}{\mathrm{CH_3-}\overset{\vert^{\mathrm{CH}_3}\mathrm{C}}{\mathrm{H}}\mathrm{-NH-CH_3}}
Tertiary amine:
(viii) CH3NCH3CH2CH3N, N -Dimethylethanamine\underset{\text{N, N -Dimethylethanamine}}{\mathrm{CH_3-}\overset{\vert^{\mathrm{CH}_3}}{\mathrm{N}}\mathrm{-CH_2CH_3}}
(c) Chain isomers : (i) & (iv), (ii) & (iii), (i) & (iii), (ii) & (iv)
Position isomers : (i) & (ii), (vi) & (vii)
Metamers : (v) & (vi), (v) & (vii)
Functional isomers: All primary amines are functional isomers of secondary and tertiary amines and vice versa.
