Which of the following is not an amine?(a) NH3(b) CH3NH2(c) C6H5NH2(d) CH3NHCH3This question was posed to me during an interview.My question comes from Structure of Amines topic in portion Amines of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

Right option is (a) NH3

The EXPLANATION: Amines are CLEARLY defined as ‘derivatives’ of ammonia OBTAINED by replacement of one or more H atoms by an alkyl/aryl group. Therefore, NH3 itself is not an amine, but the base compound for all amines.
