Question
Account for the following:
N-ethylethanamine boils at 329.3 K and butanamine boils at 350.8 K, although both are isomeric in nature.
Solution
Primary and secondary amines are engaged in intermolecular association due to hydrogen bonding between nitrogen of one and hydrogen of another molecule. Due to the presence of three hydrogen atoms, the intermolecular association is more in primary amines than in secondary amines as there are two hydrogen atoms available for hydrogen bond formation in it.
