AMINES ACYL CHLORIDES HYDROXYNITRILES ALDEHYDE/KETONE REDUCTION
Amines are nitrogen- containing organic compounds derived from ammonia, where one or more of the hydrogen atoms has been replaced by an alkyl or aryl group. ammonia methylamine phenylamine
Primary amines Seconday amines TerMary amines Quaternary ammonium ion What is happening to the hydrogen number around the Nitrogen atom as you move across the page camonic surfactant e.g. hair condimoner
Amines are named using the suffix amine. methylamine ethylamine propylamine If two idenmcal R groups are apached, the prefix di is used, and if three idenmcal groups are present, then tri is used. diethylamine triethylamine
If other funcmonal groups are present in the molecule, the presence of amine groups is denoted using the amino prefix. 2- aminoethanoic acid 3- aminopropanoic acid 1,2- diaminopentane
AliphaMc and aromamc amines l l they act as nucleophiles and take part in reacmons involving donamon of the lone pair they act as Brønsted Lowry bases (H + acceptors). Aroma8c amines contain a benzene ring directly apached to the NH 2 group. The delocalized system of the benzene group is able to incorporate the lone pair of electrons from the nitrogen atom, meaning that aromamc amines have different propermes to aliphamc amines.
ReacMons of amines as bases Amines accept protons (H + ) from acids to form salts: ethylamine ethylammonium chloride Quaternary ammonium ion CH 3 CH 2 NH 2(aq) + HCl (aq) CH 3 CH 2 NH 3 Cl - (aq) + H 2 O (l) +
RelaMve base strength The strengths of weak bases are measured on the pkb scale. The smaller the number on this scale, the stronger the base is. What is the trend? Compound pk b NH 3 4.75 CH 3 NH 2 3.36 (CH 3 ) 2 NH 3.27 C 6 H 5 NH 2 9.38 Can you explain the trend in terms of the availability of lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen for donamon to the hydrogen ion?
R group has a posimve inducmve effect and increases the electron density on the N atom. Thus N lone pair is more available to be donated to a proton, hence amine molecule can funcmon as a strong base. Benzene group withdraws electron density from the nitrogen atom and incorporates this into the delocalised electron system within the benzene ring. Thus, N lone pair is less available to be donated to a proton and therefore funcmons as a weak base. Strength of base (strongest to weakest order) R- - à - - - NH 2 more than NH 3 more than C 6 H 5 - - ß - - NH 2 Basic Buffer= aliphamc amine + strong acid (e.g. HCl) or amine salt or NH 4 Cl
