Neopentylamine is an organic compound with the molecular formula (CH3)3CCH2NH2. It is a colorless liquid. The molecule is the primary amine derivative of neopentane, (CH3)4C.
Like most alkyl amines, it degrades slowly in air.
Neopentylamine is prepared by the reaction of neopentyl alcohol with ammonia in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst.
It is a common building block. For example, some experimental drugs incorporate this amine.
