• Amines:
- organic derivatives of ammonia with one or more alkyl or aryl
groups bonded to the nitrogen atom.
• Functional group:
• Classification of amines:
Primary amine Secondary amine Tertiary amine
• Primary (1o
) amine: one alkyl or aryl group attached to the
nitrogen atom.
• Secondary (2o
) amine: two alkyl or aryl group attached to the
nitrogen atom.
• Tertiary (3o
) amine: three alkyl or aryl group attached to the
nitrogen atom.
• Quaternary (4o
) amine: an ion in which nitrogen is bonded to
four alkyl or aryl groups and bears a positive charge

• Common names:
- formed from the names of the alkyl groups bonded to nitrogen,
followed by the suffix –amine.
- the prefixes di-, tri-, and tetra- are used to decribe two, three
or four identical substituents.

NAMING AMINES
• IUPAC names:
- similar to that alcohols.
- the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms determine the root
name.
- the –e in alkane name is changed to –amine, and a number shows
the position of the amino group along the chain.
- other substituents on the carbon chain are given numbers, and
the prefix N- is used for each substituent on nitrogen.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF AMINES
i) Boiling points:
- the boiling points of amines is increase with increasing relative
molecular mass.
- the lower aliphatic amines are gases or low-boiling liquids.
- amines are polar compounds and both primary and secondary
amines associate by intermolecular hydrogen bonding.

Hydrogen bonding
* Comparing the boiling points of 1o
, 2o
and 3o
amines
- for isomeric amines, the boiling points decreases in the order,
1° amine > 2° amine > 3° amine
- reason: decrease in intermolecular hydrogen bonding.

molecular formula: C3H9N
molecular mass: 59
* Comparing the boiling points of amines with other organic
compounds
- the boiling points of aliphatic amines are higher than
those of alkanes or haloalkanes of similar relative
molecular mass due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
- the N-H bond is more polar than the C-H bond but less
polar than O-H bond. Hydrogen bonding in amines are
weaker than that of alcohols or carboxylic acids. Boiling
points of amines are lower than those corresponding
alcohols or carboxylic acids.

molecular weightmolecular weight
alkane < ether < alkyl halide < amine < ketone, aldehyde < alcohol < acid
ii) Solubilities of 1o
, 2o
and 3o
amines:
- all three classes of aliphatic amines are capable of
forming hydrogen bonds with water molecules.
- the lower amines (with chain length up to four
carbon atoms per molecule) are very soluble in
water because they can form hydrogen bonds with
water molecules.
- the solubilities of amines is decrease with
increasing number of carbon atoms in the chain.
- amines are soluble in organic solvents.
• Amines can act as:
- a nucleophile (a Lewis base) because its lone pair none bonding
electrons can form a bond with an electrophile.
- a Brønsted-Lowry base because it can accept a proton from a
proton acid.

THE BASICITY OF
AMINES
• Amines are fairly strong base and their aqueous solutions are basic.
• An amine can abstract a proton from water, giving an ammonium
ion and a hydroxide ion.
• The equilibrium constant for this reaction is called base-dissociation
constant, symbolized by Kb.

pKb = - log 10 Kb
Stronger base have smaller values of pKb
• The basicity of the amines depends on the ability of the lone pair
none bonding electrons at nitrogen atom to form bond with an acid.
• The more easier the lone pair electrons formed bond with the acid,
will make the amines a stronger base.
• Factors that effect the basicity of the amines:
i) substitution by alkyl groups
- the presence of alkyl groups (electron-donating group) such as (CH3-)
and (CH3CH2-) will make the amine become more basic.
- for example, methylamine is more basic than ammonia.
ii) substitution by electron-withdrawing groups
- the presence of electron-withdrawing groups or atom will decrease
the basicity.
- for example, nitroaniline is less basic than aniline
Basicity of aromatic amines
* Aromatic amines is less basic than aliphatic amines and
ammonia.
* Reason:
- the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom is delocalised
into the benzene ring.
- As a result, the lone pair of electrons is less available for
donation to an acid.
- The reaction is shifted toward the left and makes aniline a
weaker base than ammonia or aliphatic amines.
• Salt formation
• Reaction with nitrous acid
• Amide formation
• Ring halogenation of phenylamine
REACTIONS OF AMINES
• Reaction of amines and acid will give amine salt.
• Amine salt:
- composed of two types of ions:
i) the protonated amine cation (an ammonium ion)
ii) anion derived from the acid
• Amine salts are ionic, have higher melting points,
nonvolatile solids, more soluble in water than the parent
amines and slightly soluble in nonpolar organic solvents.

EXAMPLES:
• Nitrous acid (HNO2) is unstable and is prepared in situ by the
reaction of dilute HCl or dilute H2SO4 with sodium nitrite in
the absence of heat.
NaNO2 (s) + HCl (aq) → NaCl (aq) + O=N-OH (aq)
nitrous acid
• Nitrous acid can be used to differentiate primary, secondary
and tertiary aliphatic amines.
Reaction with nitrous acid
Primary aliphatic amines
• When aliphatic primary amines react with HNO2, nitrogen is evolved
rapidly and an alcohol is produced.
RNH2 + O=N-OH → R-OH + H2O + N2 (g)
• For example, ethylamine gives nitrogen and a mixture of ethanol
(60%), ethene and other products.
C2H5NH2 + O=N-OH → C2H5-OH + H2O + N2 (g) + other products
• The reaction of propylamine with HNO2produces nitrogen and a
mixture of 1-propanol (7%), 2-propanol (32%) and propene (28%).
• The reaction of methylamine with HNO2 produces only a little
methanol, and the main products are methoxymethane and
nitrogen.
• Aliphatic secondary amines react with HNO2 at room
temperature to form nitrosoamines / nitrosamines (yellow oils).

• Tertiary aromatic amines reacts with nitrous acid by
undergoing substitution at the para position of the benzene
ring to form nitrosoaniline which is a yellow precipitate.
i) Reaction with acyl chlorides
• Primary and secondary amines are acylated at room
temperature by acyl chlorides to form N-substituted amides.
RNH2 + CH3COCl → RNHCOCH3 + HCl
R2NH + CH3COCl → R2NCOCH3 + HCl
• Tertiary amines are NOT acylated because they do not have
hydrogen atom attached to the nitrogen atom.

SYNTHESIS OF NYLON
• General reactions:
• Nylons are condensation copolymers formed by reacting
equal parts of a diamine and a dicarboxylic acids, so that
peptide bonds form at both ends of each monomer in a
process analogous to polypeptides biopolymers.
DiaminesDicarboxylic acids Nylon
USES OF AMINES
Basic concepts of nylon production
• The first approach:
- combining molecules with an acid (COOH) group on each
end are reacted with two chemicals that contain amine (NH2)
groups on each end.
- Form nylon 6,6, made of hexamethylene diamine with six
carbon atoms and acidipic acid, as well as six carbon atoms.
• The second approach:
- a compound has an acid at one end and an amine at the
other and is polymerized to form a chain with repeating units
of (-NH-[CH2]n-CO-)x.
- Form nylon 6, made from a single six-carbon substance
called caprolactam.
• Primary aromatic amines are used as a starting material for the
manufacture of azo dyes.
• Azo compounds:
- compounds bearing the functional group R-N=N-R', in which
R and R' can be either aryl or alkyl.
- N=N group is called an azo group
- HNNH is called diimide
• Aryl azo compounds have vivid colors, especially reds,
oranges, and yellows
SYNTHESIS OF DYE
Yellow azo dye
• Amines react with nitric(III) acid to form diazonium salt,
which can undergo coupling reaction to form azo
compound.
• Azo-compounds are highly coloured, they are widely
used in dyeing industries, such as:
i) Methyl orange
ii) Direct brown 138
iii)Sunset yellow FCF
iv)Ponceau
• Methyl orange - used as acid-base indicators due to
the different colors of their acid and salt forms
• Artist’s paints – clays, yellow to red range
• Dye in food and textiles
Uses and important of azo dye

  • 14. • Amines are fairly strong base and their aqueous solutions are basic. • An amine can abstract a proton from water, giving an ammonium ion and a hydroxide ion. • The equilibrium constant for this reaction is called base-dissociation constant, symbolized by Kb. NR H H OH NR H H H OH - H Kb Kb = [RNH3 + ] [- OH] [RNH2] pKb = - log 10 Kb Stronger base have smaller values of pKb
  • 15. • The basicity of the amines depends on the ability of the lone pair none bonding electrons at nitrogen atom to form bond with an acid. • The more easier the lone pair electrons formed bond with the acid, will make the amines a stronger base. • Factors that effect the basicity of the amines: i) substitution by alkyl groups - the presence of alkyl groups (electron-donating group) such as (CH3-) and (CH3CH2-) will make the amine become more basic. - for example, methylamine is more basic than ammonia. ii) substitution by electron-withdrawing groups - the presence of electron-withdrawing groups or atom will decrease the basicity. - for example, nitroaniline is less basic than aniline
  • 16. Basicity of aromatic amines * Aromatic amines is less basic than aliphatic amines and ammonia. * Reason: - the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom is delocalised into the benzene ring. - As a result, the lone pair of electrons is less available for donation to an acid. - The reaction is shifted toward the left and makes aniline a weaker base than ammonia or aliphatic amines.
  • 17. • Salt formation • Reaction with nitrous acid • Amide formation • Ring halogenation of phenylamine REACTIONS OF AMINES
  • 18. • Reaction of amines and acid will give amine salt. • Amine salt: - composed of two types of ions: i) the protonated amine cation (an ammonium ion) ii) anion derived from the acid • Amine salts are ionic, have higher melting points, nonvolatile solids, more soluble in water than the parent amines and slightly soluble in nonpolar organic solvents.

  • 20. • Nitrous acid (HNO2) is unstable and is prepared in situ by the reaction of dilute HCl or dilute H2SO4 with sodium nitrite in the absence of heat. NaNO2 (s) + HCl (aq) → NaCl (aq) + O=N-OH (aq) nitrous acid • Nitrous acid can be used to differentiate primary, secondary and tertiary aliphatic amines. Reaction with nitrous acid
  • 21. Primary aliphatic amines • When aliphatic primary amines react with HNO2, nitrogen is evolved rapidly and an alcohol is produced. RNH2 + O=N-OH → R-OH + H2O + N2 (g) • For example, ethylamine gives nitrogen and a mixture of ethanol (60%), ethene and other products. C2H5NH2 + O=N-OH → C2H5-OH + H2O + N2 (g) + other products • The reaction of propylamine with HNO2produces nitrogen and a mixture of 1-propanol (7%), 2-propanol (32%) and propene (28%). • The reaction of methylamine with HNO2 produces only a little methanol, and the main products are methoxymethane and nitrogen.
  • 22. • Aliphatic secondary amines react with HNO2 at room temperature to form nitrosoamines / nitrosamines (yellow oils). R2N-H + HO-N=O → R2N-N=O + H2O nitrosoamine • Example, HN CH3 CH3 N=OHO N=ON CH3 CH3 H2O dimethylamine N-nitroso-N,N-dimethylamine Secondary aliphatic and aromatic amines
