2. 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.

3. 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

4. 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.

5. 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 Aminoheptanoic acid Amino-2-butanol

7. 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

8. 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.

9. 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
