Answer 1

Hello Dear,

◆ Answer -

7 primary amines

● Explaination -

Molecular formula C5H13N will form pentyl amines i.e. C5H11-NH2.

On the basis of branches in aliphatic chain, C5H11-NH2 can have 7 structural isomers.

1. CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-NH2
2. CH3-CH2-CH2-CH(NH2)-CH3
3. CH3-CH2-CH(NH2)-CH2-CH3
4. (CH3)2.HC-CH2-CH2-NH2
5. (CH3)2.HC-CH(NH2)-CH3
6. (CH3)2.C(NH2)-CH2-CH3
7. (CH3)3.C-CH2-NH2
