Sign in to saveAlso known as butylamine, 2-butylamine, secondary butylamine, 2-butanamine, 1-methylpropylamine, 1-methylpropanamine, 2-AB, 2-aminobutane
'''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.
