Question

Identify the tertiary amine from the following:

Options

• \[\begin{array}{cc}
  \phantom{..}\ce{CH3}\\
  |\\
  \ce{CH3 - N - CH3}
  \end{array}\]

• \[\begin{array}{cc}
  \ce{CH3 - CH - CH3}\\
  |\phantom{..}\\
  \ce{NH}
  \end{array}\]

• \[\ce{CH3 - NH - CH2 - CH3}\]

• \[\ce{(C2H5)2CHNH2}\]

Answer 1

\[\begin{array}{cc}
\phantom{..}\ce{CH3}\\
|\\
\ce{CH3 - N - CH3}
\end{array}\]
