Inorganic chemistry, an aminomethyl group is a monovalent functional group with formula −CH2−NH2. It can be described as a methyl group substituted by an amino group −NH2.

Related compounds[edit]

Usually aminomethyl groups feature tertiary amines. Often they are obtained by alkylation with Eschenmoser's salt, a source of [CH2=N(CH3)2]+.

A cobalt(III) complex of aminomethyl is known in the form [Co(bipyridine)2(CH2NH2)](ClO4)2.[1]

Aminomethyl is the first member of a series of 1-aminoalkyl groups of the form −(CH2−)nNH2.[2]

Aminomethyl is used in the standard (IUPAC) names of some compounds,[3] such as 4-(aminomethyl) benzoic acid.
