The following compound is an example of what class of compound? 
A)primary amine 
B)tertiary amine 
C)heterocyclic compound 
D)pyrrole

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The compound is a heterocyclic compound, as it contains a ring structure with at least one atom that is not a carbon atom (in this case, the nitrogen atom). It cannot be classified as a primary or tertiary amine, as it does not have a basic nitrogen atom attached to three or one alkyl groups, respectively. While it does contain a pyrrole ring, the question asks for the class of compound, not the specific structure within the compound.
