Help needed DI-sec.-Butylamine n-Butylamine???

Hi
I have a little question abut Butylamine.
I bought n-Butylamine. it has the labeling: n-Butylamine H8H19N (

what should that be???)
I checked solubility and Boiling Point:
-not soluble in H2O
-soluble in EtOH
-Bp: 135-140°C
-strong amine-like odour
-inflammable
-clear Liquid

that can´t be n-Butylamine (C4H11N)
i guess it´s Di-sec.-Butylamine (C8H19N)

Can anyone tell me what this stuff is, or how i convert it to n-Butylamine?
Is it possible to use this as a catalyst for Benzaldehyde Nitroethane Condensation to "P2nP"??

Since di-sec-butylamine is four times more expensive than n-Butylamine i can not understand how he could send me that instead the right thing... Confused

Sorry for eventually bad spelling. English is not my native language, but i will try to do better in future. But since i want to know what i have and what i can do with it, i´m takin that risk to blame myself

As you can see they are totally different, doubt you can make it work in the planned experiment.......java

n-butylamine

di-sec-butylamine

Ok thx!
I just thought that it could be possible to synthesize the primary amine from it?!?
otherwise i try this experiment with methylamine made from Hexamethylenetetramine.
