Amines 1435-1436 2014-2015 1

Amines Learning Objectives Chapter ten discusses the following topics and by the end of this chapter the students will: Know the structure and classification of amines Know the naming rules for amines & precedence order of functional groups in compounds have more than one functional group. Know the physical properties of amines Know the effect of lone pair of electrons of N atom on basic properties of amines Know the different methods used in synthesis of amines Know the reactions of amines; in addition to behaving as bases amines can be nucleophiles. 145 Chem.

Structure & Classification Amines Structure & Classification Amines are derivatives of ammonia that have one or more of the hydrogen replaced with alkyl and/ or aryl group. Amines: are a class of organic compounds that contain the N group Amines are formed in many biological systems. So it used as drugs and medicines. Classification Of Amines primary (1o) amines secondary (2o) amines tertiary (3o) amines R N: H R N: R R N: R H 145 Chem.

Common Nomenclature Of Amines The common names of amines are derived by listing the name (s) of the group (s) surrounding the nitrogen (in alphabetical order) and adding the suffix amine.(N.B. if two vowels come together ; the first must be omitted e.g. ethanamine. Symmetrical 2° & 3° amines (i.e. the substituents surrounding the N atom are identical) are named by adding the multiplication prefix (di or tri) to the name of the alkyl group. Methylamine Benzyl methyl amine Trimethyl amine Structures with higher priority groups, the NH2 group is called amino 145 Chem.

IUPAC Names Of Primary Amines If the compound does not contain a functional group except amino group, then the compound is named by finding the longest alkane chain containing the amino group and replacing the e in the IUPAC name by the suffix amine However if the compound contain other functional groups then the order of precedence determines which group are named with prefix or suffix. (see the precedence table on slide 6) The highest precedence group takes the appropriate suffix with all other groups taking the prefix (es), however = or Ξ bonds only take suffix form (ene, yne respectively. 5-Methyl-3-hexanamine 5-Aminoheptanoic acid 3-Amino-2-butanol

Precedence Order of Functional Groups (Descending Order) Amines Precedence Order of Functional Groups (Descending Order) Class Functional group Prefix suffix Carboxylic acids Cyclic alknes or alkenes with COOH group COOH oic acid carboxylic acid Aldehydes Cyclic alknes or alkenes with CHO group -CHO Formyl al carbaldehyde ketone -C=O oxo one Alcohols -OH hydroxy ol Amines -NH2 amino amine Ethers -OR alkoxy - Alkenes and aAlkynes = & Ξ bonds ene & yne 145 Chem.

Naming Of Aromatic Amines They have common names accepted by the IUPAC system, but if the benzene ring contain groups of higher priorities (COOH > CHO > C=O > OH > NH) in this case the amino group is added as a prefix . Pyridine Aniline o-Nitroaniline p-Toluidine p-Aminophenol Benzenamine 4-Methyl benzenamine 145 Chem.

Physical Properties of Amines 1) Boiling point : Because they possess a polar N-H bond, primary and secondary amines are capable of forming intramolecular hydrogen bonds among their molecules; therefore they have: higher boiling points than alkanes but lower than alcohols (alcohols form stronger H-bonds than amines). Tertiary amines can not form H-bonds among their molecules and their molecules are more branched thus they have the lowest boiling points among amines. 145 Chem.

2) Solubility : 3) Basicity Of Amines Base strength : All amines are capable of forming hydrogen bonds with water, alcohol (hydroxylic solvent) , thus they are soluble in water. The lower molecular weight amines with up to six carbons show appreciable solubility in water. 3) Basicity Of Amines Amines basic because N (nitrogen atom )has non bonded pair of electrons which can be donated to an acid to form ammonium salt. Base strength : Aromatic amines less basic than aliphatic amines due to lone pair of electrons on N is involved in aromaticity Electron donating (releasing) groups on N atom increase the basicity Electron withdrawing groups decrease the basicity 145 Chem.
