AMYL A MINE

n. A*m-i?l’a?m-en. Lat., a my lamina. Fr., amyl a mine. Ger., Amylamin. It., Sp., wmilamina. A primary amine of amyl, N.(C,H,).H, = NCsH,3. Four isomeric bodies of this composition are known: 1. Alpha a. (CHg), = CH — CH) — CH,.NHg, derived from the amyl of fnactive amyl alcohol. 2. [so amyl a mine, derived from fermentation amyl. & According to Strecker, an a., (CH, )2 = CH—CH.NH, — CH 3. derived from secondary isoamy}.’ 4. The a. (CHg) = —Ü.NH,, derived from dimethylethylcarbyl. They are all liquids boiling at from 78° to 96° C. A. acts as a monacid base, combining directly with acids to form addition compounds (see A. hydrochloride). Such compounds may, however, be also regarded as substitution products of acids in which the univalent radicle NH3(CsH,,)’ (amylium) replaces an atom of hydrogen.
