This iodide boils at 130°; by acting on it with silver salts a portion
splits tip into amylene and hydriodic acid, whilst another portion
yields compound ethers.
The acetate, which boils at 125°, possesses an ethereal smell, quite
different from that of the primary acetate.
When the iodide is acted on by silver oxide and water, besides a
little atnylene, the secondary alcohol is obtained, boiling at 108° and
possessing a smell quite different from that of fusel-oil. It is sometimes
called amylene hydrate, from the fact that on heating it to 200°
it splits up into water and amylene.
By the action of silver cyanide upon the secondary iodide, the corresponding
carbimide is formed, which when distilled with an alkali
yields isamykmine, which is isoineric with amylamine:—

Isamykmine boils at 78*5°, and has an ammoniacal smell; it is
soluble in water, and is as strong g a base as amylamina y

is formed by acting with zinc-methyl upon tertiary butyl iodide:
2C(CI13)ST + Zn(CH3)4= 2C(CH3)t + Znl,
It has also been, prepared by the action of zinc-methyl upon propideue
dichloride (GH^oCClj, a compound which is obtained by
treating acetone (CH^CO with phosphorus peutachloride. It boils
at 9 O# 5, and solidifies at - 20° to a white mass.
