Questions Related to isomerism of amines

Phenyl amine is involved importantly in synthesis of:

  1. dyes

  2. medicines

  3. drugs

  4. capsules


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Phenyl amines are important industrially for the production of dyes.

In the given compound A,C and A,D are exbhits which of the following isomerism :

(a) $CH _3-CH _2-CH _2 - CH _2NH _2$
Butanamine $(1^o)$

(b) $CH _3-CH _2-\overset{NH _2}{\overset{|}{C}H} - CH _3$ 
Butan-2-amine $(1^o)$

(c) $CH _3-\overset{CH _3}{\overset{|}{C}H} - CH _2-NH _2$
2-Methylpropanamine $(1^o)$

(d) $CH _3-!!!!\underset{\quad CH _3}{\underset{|}{\overset{\quad CH _3}{\overset{|}{C}}}!!!!-}NH _2$
2-methylpropan-2-amine $(1^o)$

(e) $CH _3-CH _2-CH _2-NH - CH _3$
N-methylpropanamine $(2^o)$

  1. Chain isomerism

  2. position isomerism

  3. Functional isomerism

  4. Metamerism


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A,C and A,D are exbhits chain isomerism as the pairs are differed in their longest chain. Hence option A is correct.
