Amines, Nomenclature, Physical
properties and Chemical reaction
Amines
• Amines are organic derivatives of ammonia (NH3), in which one or
more alkyl, cycloalkyl, or aromatic groups replace hydrogen and
bond to the nitrogen atom.
Methylamine Trimethylamine Methylpropylamine
Methylphenylamine Cyclohexyldimethylamine
Classification of Amines
 Classified as primary, secondary and tertiary
[according to the number of groups attached to the
nitrogen atom].

Nomenclature for amines
• Common and IUPAC systems are used extensively for naming
amines.
• In the common system, rules similar to what we have seen for
ethers are employed, naming the alkyl/aromatic groups attached
to the functional group, and then following these with “amine”
Methylamine Trimethylamine Methylpropylamine
Methylphenylamine Cyclohexyldimethylamine
Nomenclature for amines
• The IUPAC system for naming amines is as follows:
– Select the longest carbon chain bound to the nitrogen as
the parent chain
– Name the chain by changing the alkane name for this
chain: drop the “e” and add “amine”
– Number the chain to give the nitrogen the lowest
numbering
– The number and identity of other substituents (including
any on the main chain) are indicated at the beginning of
the amine name (some are attached to N)
• Some examples-
2-Butanamine
1-Butanamine
# to indicate placement of NH2 group
4-C chain (“butane”; - “e” + “amine”)
3-Aminobutanoic acid
4-Amino-4-chloro-2-pentanone
• Where NH2-substituted alcohols or other compound cases are
involved, the NH2-group is called an “amino” substituent.
Functional group priority
• Aromatic amines involve an amine-type nitrogen bound to an aromatic
ring. The simplest case for these is aniline.
Aniline 3-Bromo-2-chloroaniline
• For substituted anilines, the substituent names are treated in
a manner similar to what was shown for substituted parent
chain cases
Aniline 3,N-DimethylanilineN-Ethyl-N-methylaniline
Physical properties of amines
• Amines tend to be gases for low molecular weight cases (e.g.
up to (CH3)3N, trimethylamine) and many heavier ones are
liquids at room temperature.
• One very noticeable thing about amines is that they tend to
exhibit strong odors. For example, some have a “fishy” smell
Cadaverine
(1,5-Pentanediamine)
Putrescine
(1,4-Buntanediamine)
Physical properties of amines
• Amine boiling points are intermediate of those for alcohols
and alkanes of similar molar mass.
• Because of the presence of N-H bond(s) in primary and
secondary amines, hydrogen-bonding is sometimes possible;
however, because N is not as electronegative as O, the N-H
bond is not as polar as an O-H bond (weaker H-bonding).
Physical properties of amines
• Amines tend to be water-soluble because of H-bonding
interactions with water molecules. In fact, amines having
fewer than six carbon atoms are infinitely water-soluble.
• Water-solubility decreases as:
– Chain length increases, and,
– The degree of N-substitution increases
Chemical reaction of Amines
• Amines are similar to ammonia in their reactions.
• Like ammonia, amines are basic.
• Like ammonia, amines are nucleophilic and react with alkyl
halides, acid chlorides, and carbonyl compounds.
• The aromatic amines are highly reactive in electrophilic
aromatic substitution.

6. Carbylamine reaction
• Primary amine reaction with CHCl3 and KOH under the 60 0-70 0 degree temperature.
Then isocyanide[Carbyl-amine] with unpleasent smell found.
• Aliphatic Amine-
• Aromatic Amine-
• Secondary and tertiary amines have no reaction.
7. Oxidation of Amines
Oxidation with KMnO4 : H
• CH3-CH2-NH2 + [O] H2SO4
KMnO4 CH3-CH=NH H+ CH3-C=O +NH3
ethylamine ethanal
Primary aliphatic amines oxidation by KMnO4 and produce ethanal.
Oxidation with H2O2 :
-NH2 + 3 H2O2 -NO2 + 4H2O
Aniline oxidation with hydrogen peroxide; produce nitro benzene and water.
8. Substitution in Benzene ring of Aniline
• In benzene ring , amine group increase the density of Electron at Ortho,
pera position. So the next group will attach to the benzene ring at the
Ortho, pera position.
• Halogenations of Aniline:
• 2,4,6- tribromo aniline
• React fast
• It is very active. So the two ortho group and pera group attach at same
time.
Nitration of Aniline:
Though -NH2 group is a ortho, pera indicator but, when it
react with acid it produce meta-Nitroaniline because of
Anilinium ion.
• Sulphonation of Aniline:
Aniline react with Sulphuric acid and produce 4-amino
benzene sulphonic acid.
Wgic gives ‘zwitter aion’ in aqueous solution.
