  4. D \(3^{\circ}\) aliphatic mixed amine
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(3^{\circ}\) aromatic simple amine

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

- The compound \(\left(\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_3\right)_3 \mathrm{~N}\) is triphenylamine.
- It is an aromatic amine because the nitrogen atom is bonded to three phenyl groups \(\left(\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5\right)\), which are aromatic rings.
- It is a tertiary \(\left(3^{\circ}\right)\) amine because the nitrogen is bonded to three carbon atoms, all part of the phenyl groups, with no hydrogen atoms attached directly to the nitrogen.
