Common Name2-Methyl-2-propanamine
Description2-Methyl-2-propanamine, also known as trimethylaminomethane or 1,1-dimethylethylamine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as monoalkylamines. These are organic compounds containing a primary aliphatic amine group. A primary aliphatic amine that is ethylamine substituted by two methyl groups at position 1. 2-Methyl-2-propanamine with the molecular formula (CH3)3CNH2 is a strong basic compound (based on its pKa). 2-Methyl-2-propanamine is a colorless liquid with a typical amine-like odor. 2-Methyl-2-propanamine or tert-Butylamine is one of the four isomeric amines of butane, the others being n-butylamine, sec-butylamine and isobutylamine. 2-Methyl-2-propanamine is produced commercially by direct amination of isobutylene using zeolite catalysts. In the laboratory, it can be prepared by the hydrogenolysis of 2,2-dimethylethylenimine, or via tert-butylphthalimide. 2-Methyl-2-propanamine is used as an intermediate in the preparation of the sulfenamides such as N-tert-butyl-2-benzothiazylsulfenamide and N-tert-butyl-2-benzothiazylsulfenimide. In pharmacology under the name erbumine, 2-methyl-2-propanamine has been used as a counterion in drug substances such as perindopril erbumine. 2-methyl-2-propanamine has also been found in the volatile fraction of Cannabis sativa samples obtained from police seizures (PMID: 26657499 ) and is likely a smoke component of marijuana ( Ref:DOI ).
