4. Classification
of amines
• Primary amine:NH2(amino
group)-A amine has only one
alkyl group directly attached to
the nitrogen
• Secondary amine: NH (imino
group)- A amine has two alkyl
group directly attached to the
nitrogen atom.
• Tertiary amine: N(Tertiary
nitrogen)-A amine has three
alkyl group directly attached to
the nitrogen atom
