Topics in Amines
1
Structure and Classification of Amines
- Nitrogen in amines is sp³ hybridized with pyramidal geometry
- Bond angle C-N-H is 108° (less than 109.5° due to lone pair repulsion)
- Primary amines (1°): RNH₂ - contain -NH₂ group
2
Nomenclature of Amines
- Common system: Prefix alkyl group name with 'amine' (e.g., methylamine)
- IUPAC system: Amines named as alkanamines (e.g., methanamine)
- For secondary and tertiary amines, use 'N-' prefix for additional substituents
3
Preparation Methods of Amines
- Reduction of nitro compounds using H₂/Ni, Sn/HCl, or Fe/HCl
- Hoffmann ammonolysis: RX + NH₃ → mixture of 1°, 2°, 3° amines
- Gabriel phthalimide synthesis: specific for 1° aliphatic amines
4
Physical Properties of Amines
- Lower aliphatic amines are gases with fishy/ammoniacal smell
- Primary amines with 3+ carbons are liquids; aromatic amines vary
- Solubility: Lower amines soluble in water due to hydrogen bonding
