tert-Butylamine is produced commercially by direct amination of isobutylene using zeolite catalysts: NH3 + CH2=C(CH3)2 → H2NC(CH3) The Ritter reaction of isobutene with hydrogen cyanide is not useful because it produces too much waste.
The prefix "tert" or "t" is used when the functional group is bonded to a tertiary carbon
