Cyclobutylamine

Cyclobutylamine is an organic compound with the formula. It is a colorless, readily distillable liquid. It can be prepared from cyclobutanecarboxylic acid via the amide or by Curtius rearrangement. Cyclobutylamine is a member of the aminocycloalkanes, which also includes cyclopropylamine, cyclopentylamine, and cyclohexylamine.
Oxidation with potassium permanganate gives cyclobutanone.
Using "strain-relief reaction", substituted bicyclobutanes can be converted to a variety of N-substituted cyclobutylamines.
