Study Notes
Compounds with a Nitrogen Atom Attached to a Carbonyl Group
- These compounds are known as amide.
Derivatives of Ammonia
- Compounds that can be considered as derivatives of ammonia include amines and amides.
Defining Characteristic of Amines
- Amines are characterized by the presence of a nitrogen atom bonded to one or more alkyl or aryl groups.
Substituent -NH2
- The substituent -NH2 is called amino group.
Classification of Amines
- Amines are classified based on the nature and number of substituents on the nitrogen atom:
- Primary amines have one alkyl or aryl group.
- Secondary amines have two alkyl or aryl groups.
- Tertiary amines have three alkyl or aryl groups.
Example of an Amine
- An example of an amine is ethylamine, characterized by its -NH2 group connected to an ethyl group.
Formal Derivatives of Ammonia
- Amines are formally regarded as derivatives of ammonia (NH3), where hydrogen atoms are replaced by alkyl or aryl groups.
Amine Types with Only H and Alkyl Substituents
- Primary amines contain only hydrogen and alkyl substituents on the nitrogen atom.
