1. Aromatic Amines
Prepared by Mr. N. M. Jangade

2. Aromatic Amines
• Aromatic amines are derivatives of aromatic hydrocarbons
in which a hydrogen of the benzene ring has been replaced
by an amino group (-NH2).
• All such compounds in which an amino or substituted
amino group is bonded directly to an aromatic ring are
termed as Aromatic amines.
• e.g.

side chain are to be regarded as aryl substituted
aliphatic amines.

30. Basicity of Aromatic Amines
Prepared by Mr. N. M. Jangade

31. • Nitrogen in aniline have lone pair of electrons which
are available to accept protons.
• But in Aniline lone pair of electrons can delocalize
over Benzene ring this decreases the electron
density on Nitrogen and makes it weak basic in
nature.
Prepared by Mr. N. M. Jangade

32. Prepared by Mr. N. M. Jangade

33. 1. Nitrogen in Aniline and Ethylamine have lone pair of
electrons which are available to accept protons.
2. But if we compare basicity of Aniline and Ethylamine then
in Aniline lone pair of electrons can delocalize over
Benzene ring this decreases the electron density on
Nitrogen and makes it weak basic in nature, while in
Ethylamine lone pair of electrons localize over Nitrogen
atom (As no resonance possible in Ethylamine) this
increases the electron density on Nitrogen and makes it
more basic in nature than Aniline
