Solution

A mixture of amines is formed according to the following reactions.

CH₃CH₂CH₂OH + NH₃ $\overset{h e a t}{\to}$ CH₃CH₂CH₂NH₂ + H₂O
propylamine

The propylamine formed can further react with propanol to give dipropylamine

CH₃CH₂CH₂OH + CH₃CH₂CH₂NH₂ $\overset{h e a t}{\to}$ (CH₃CH₂CH₂)₂NH₂ + H₂O
dipropylamine

Dipropylamine can further react to give tripropylamine

CH₃CH₂CH₂OH + (CH₃CH₂CH₂)₂NH₂ $\overset{h e a t}{\to}$ (CH₃CH₂CH₂)₃NH₂ + H₂O
tripropylamine
