sec-butylamine
Sign in to save'''sec-Butylamine' is an organic chemical compound (specifically, an amine) with the formula CH3CH2CH(NH2)CH3. It is a colorless liquid. sec-Butylamine is one of the four isomeric amines of butane, the others being n-butylamine, tert-butylamine, and isobutylamine. sec''-Butylamine is chiral and therefore can exist in either of two enantiomeric forms.
