N,N-Dimethylbenzylamine is an organic compound with the molecular formula C9H13N. Its IUPAC name is N,N-dimethylbenzenemethanamine. The chemical structure of N,N-Dimethylbenzylamine consists of a benzene ring  C6H5  attached to a methylene group  CH2  and an amine group  N CH3 2 . The amine group has two methyl groups  CH3  attached to the nitrogen atom.Benzylamine, on the other hand, has the molecular formula C7H9N and its IUPAC name is benzenemethanamine. Its chemical structure consists of a benzene ring  C6H5  attached to a methylene group  CH2  and an amine group  NH2 .The main difference between the two compounds is the presence of two methyl groups  CH3  attached to the nitrogen atom in N,N-Dimethylbenzylamine, while in Benzylamine, there are two hydrogen atoms  H  attached to the nitrogen atom. This difference in the amine group affects the chemical properties and reactivity of the two compounds.
