These compounds are the major product in a reaction in which carbon dioxide is liberated by the hydrolysis of an isocyanate intermediate; that reaction produces one of these from a primary nitro-acyl with one more carbon. Another reaction that produces these compounds fails for secondary alkyl halides, but succeeds in reacting primary alkyl halides with potassium pthalimide. Under acid catalysis, these compounds will nucleophilically attack carbonyls to form (*) imines. Compounds with this functional group are the major products in the aforementioned Hoffman degradation and Gabriel synthesis. The simplest one can be made more directly through the Haber processes. For 10 points, name these organic compounds containing a nitrogen atom with a lone electron pair, the simplest of which is ammonia.
