23.11. This compound cannot be prepared from an alkyl halide or a carboxylic acid,
using the methods described in this section, because there are two methyl groups at the
alpha position (the carbon atom connected to the amino group). These two methyl
groups cannot be installed with either of the synthetic methods above, because both
methods produce an amine with two alpha protons.
