Amines

Amines are the organic compounds derived from ammonia (NH3) by replacing its one or more hydrogen atoms by alkyl or aryl group.

For example:

   CH3NH2                              C2H5NH2                            C6H5NH2

Methyl Amine                         Ethyl Amine                           Aniline

Structure of Amines

Nitrogen atom of amines carries an unshared pair of electrons and is sp3  hybridised with pyramidal shape. Due to the presence of unshared pair of electrons, the angle C–N–E, (where E is C or H) is less than 109.5°.

In aromatic amines, the C‒N bond is slightly stronger due to the partial double bond character which arises as a result of delocalisation of lone pair of N with the benzene ring.

Classification of Amines

On the basis of number of hydrogen atoms replaced in NH3 molecule, amines are categorized into three types:

•     1° amine: One hydrogen atom of NHis replaced by an alkyl or aryl group.

For example:

CH3NH2

Methyl Amine

•     2° amine: Two hydrogen atoms of NHare replaced by alkyl or aryl groups.

For example:

CH3NHCH3

Dimethyl Amine

•     3° amine: All three hydrogen atoms of NHare replaced by alkyl or aryl groups.

For example:

Nomenclature of Amines

Common naming system:

•     Aliphatic amines are named by prefixing an alkyl group to a mine, i.e., alkylamine.

For example:

•     Secondary and tertiary amines, having two or more similar groups are named by adding prefix ‘di’ or ‘tri’ before the name of alkyl group.

For example:

•     Aromatic amines are named as derivatives of the parent member, aniline (C6H5NH2).

For example:

IUPAC naming system:

•     Aliphatic or aromatic amines are named by replacing ‘e’ in the end of the parent hydrocarbon by ‘amine’.

For example:

    CH3NH2                              C6H5NH2

Methanamine                        Benzenamine

•     Amines containing more than one amino groups at different positions in the parent chain, are named by specifying numbers to the carbon atoms bearing –NHgroups along with attaching a suitable prefix such as di, tri, etc. to the amine. The ending ‘e’ of the hydrocarbon is retained.

For example:

H2N ‒ CH‒ CH‒ NH2

Ethane-1, 2-diamine

Preparation of Amines

1. By reduction of nitro (RNO2) compounds:

2. By reduction of nitriles (RCN):

3. By reduction of amides (RCONH2):

4. By ammonolysis of alkyl halides:

5. Hofmann bromamide reaction:

RCONH2 + Br2 + 4NaOH → RNH2 + 2NaBr + Na2CO3 + 2 H2O

This method gives  amine with one carbon less than the parent amide.

6. Gabriel phthalimide synthesis:

Physical Properties of Amines

•    The lower aliphatic amines are gases with fishy smell.

•    Primary amines wit three or more carbon atoms are liquid and higher members are all solids.

•    Lower amines are soluble in water as they can form hydrogen bonds with water, however the solubility decreases with increase in hydrophobic alkyl group.

•    Amines have a higher boiling point than the hydrocarbon of comparable molecular mass. This is due to their ability to associate via intermolecular hydrogen bonding.

•    Boiling points order of various isomeric amines is:
1o > 2o > 3o

Basic strength of amines

Amines act as Lewis bases due to the presence of lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom. Basic character of amines can be better expressed in terms of their Kb and pKb values.

All aliphatic amines are strong bases than NH3 while aromatic amines are weaker bases than NH3 due to the electron withdrawing nature of the aryl group.

o    Factors affects the basicity of aliphatic amines are:
      •    Inductive effect
      •    Solvation effect
      •    Steric hinderance

Considering all the above factors the basic strength of methyl substituted amines and ethyl substituted amines in aqueous medium follows the order:

(CH3)2NH > CH3NH2 > (CH3)3N > NH3

(C2H5)2NH > (C2H5)3N > C2H5NH2 > NH3

In Part-II, you will get to know about the various chemical reactions undergone by the amines. Also this part will make you familiar with Diazonium salts. These quick notes are prepared strictly according to the latest CBSE syllabus for Class 12th Chemistry.

      o    Chemical reactions

•    Uses of amines

The key notes of the chapter are as follows:

Chemical Reactions of Amines

1. Reaction with acids:

2. Alkylation:

Alkylation of 1o amine generates 2o amine, 3o amine and finally the quaternary salts.

3. Acylation:

Reaction with acid chlorides, anhydrides and esters by nucleophilic substitution reaction is known as acylation. The reaction is proceeded by the replacement of hydrogen atom of –NH2 or >N–H group by the acyl group (RCOX).

Tertiary (3o) amine cannot be  acylated as there is no H bonded to nitrogen.

4. Benzoylation:

5. Reaction with nitrous acid, HNO2

Three classes of amines react differently with nitrous acid

(a) Reaction of 1o amines:

(b) Reaction of 2o amines:

(c) Reaction of 3o amines:

6. Carbylamine reaction:

Primary amine (both aliphatic and aromatic) reacts with CHCl3/KOH to form isocyanides (carbylamines) with unpleasant smell.

7.  Reaction with aldehyde and ketones:

1o amines react with aldehydes and ketones to form Schiff’s bases.

8. Electrophilic substitution reactions

Aniline, due to high electron density at ortho and para-positions, is ortho and para directing towards electrophilic substitution reaction.

Some of the electrophilic substitution reactions of aniline are described below:

(a) Bromination:

To prepare monosubstituted aniline derivative, first acetylation of aniline is carried out with acetic anhydride followed by the desired substitution of the substituted amide which is then hydrolysed to obtain the monosubstituted amine.

(b) Nitration:

To get p-nitro derivative as major product, acetylation of aniline is carried out with acetic anhydride. Then desired substitution of anilide is carried out followed by hydrolysis of the substituted anilide to the substituted amine.

Diazonium Salts

Structure of Diazonium Salt

Preparation of Diazonium Salt

The reaction of preparation of diazonium salt is called Diazotisation.

Physical Properties of Diazonium Salt

•    It is a colourless crystalline solid.

•    It is readily soluble in water and is stable in cold but reacts with water when warmed.

•    It has tendency to explode when dry.

Chemical Reactions of Diazonium Salts

There are two types of reactions given by benzene diazonium chloride.

(1)Substitution reactions involving replacement of diazonium group.

(2) Coupling reactions involving the retention of diazo group acts as an electrophile.

Explanation:

1. Substitution reactions involving replacement of diazonium group:

(a)  Replacement by halide or cyanide ion:

Above reaction taking place in the presence of Cu(I) ion is called Sandmeyer reaction.

Above reaction taking place in the presence of copper powder is named as Gatterman reaction.

(b) Replacement by iodide ion:

(c) Replacement by fluoride ion:

(d) Replacement by H-atom:

(e) Replacement by hydroxyl group:

(f) Replacement by –NO2 group:

2. Reactions involving retention of diazo group

Coupling recations:

Uses of Amine

•   N , N – Dmethylaniline (DMA) also used in the preparation of Methyl orange and other dyes
•   Amines are widely used in developing chemicals for crop protection and water purification
•   1, 6 – Hexamethylenediamine H2N ‒ (CH2)6 ‒ NH2 is used in the production of nylon
