Which of the following isomers has highest boiling point?

Which of the following isomers has highest boiling point?
  1. tert-Butylamine
  2. Ethyldimethylamine
  3. Diethylamine
  4. n-Butylamine

Solution

Based on the extent of the intermolecular forces the observed order of boiling points of isomeric amines is: primary amine $\gt$ secondary amine $\gt$ tertiary amine. Hence, n-butyl amine has the highest boiling point.
