If the boiling point of diethylamine is 329 K, predict the boiling point of ethyldimethylamine. |
340K 329K 351K 310K |
310K |
Diethylamine is a 2° amine whereas, ethyldimethylamine is a 3° amine. In 3° amines, there are no hydrogen atoms available for intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Therefore, the tertiary amines have lowest boiling point among the primary and secondary counterparts. |
