SUMMARY
In 2-aminobutane, the C3 carbon resonates at approximately 33 ppm, which is significantly lower than the C1 carbon's resonance at around 23 ppm. This resonance shift is attributed to the inductive effect from the C4 carbon, which increases electron density around C3, leading to an upfield shift compared to C2. Additionally, the steric interactions between the amine group and C4 may also influence the resonance behavior of C3.
