Solution

The correct option is D 8
Here,
DOU=(4+1)112+12DOU=0
So, there are no π bonds and rings

There are 8 different structural isomers possible for the compound having molecular formula C4H11N :
1. Primary Amines:


2. Secondary amines

3. Tertiary amine

Theory :
For a compound having molecular formula CcHhXxNnOo
Degree of unsaturation (DOU) :
DOU=(c+1)h2x2+n2
where X is halogen family
N are elements of nitrogen family
O are elements of oxygen family
Presence of O atom does not affect DOU
