Study Notes
Comparative Reaction of Amines
- Amines are ammonia derivatives of hydrocarbons.
- They are classified as primary, secondary, or tertiary based on the number of carbon-containing groups attached to the nitrogen atom.
- Primary amines have one carbon group, secondary amines have two, and tertiary amines have three.
Prayer Before Class
- The prayer requests guidance, understanding, and ease of learning for the class.
- It also asks for success in the learning process, and completion of tasks.
Learning Objectives
- Students should be able to distinguish primary, secondary, and tertiary amines using nitrous acid and Heinsberg tests after the laboratory activity.
Properties of Amines
- Distinctive "fishy" odor
- Basic organic compounds that are substantially basic in aqueous solutions
- Completely protonated by dilute solutions of strong acids.
- Lighter than water
- Soluble in water (1 to 5 carbon amines)
- Boiling point: Amine < Alcohol < Carboxylic Acid (with comparable masses)
- Hydrogen bonding significantly influences the properties of primary and secondary amines.
- Methyl and Ethyl amines are gases under standard conditions.
Test for the Presence of Amines: Nitrous Acid Test
- Primary Aliphatic Amines: Nitrogen gas evolves.
- Secondary Aliphatic Amines: Insoluble oil produces.
- Tertiary Aliphatic Amines: Clear solution.
Test for the Presence of Amines: Heinsberg Test
- Distinguishes primary, secondary, and tertiary amines.
- Primary amines form soluble sulfonamide salts (soluble in base).
- Secondary amines produce insoluble sulfonamide salts (insoluble in base).
- Tertiary amines do not react.
Laboratory Activity: Comparative Reactions of Amines
- The laboratory activity involves using nitrous acid and Heinsberg tests to identify primary, secondary, and tertiary amines.
Nitrous Acid Test Procedure
- Prepare 3 test tubes with 2 mL of 6M HCl each.
- Add 5 drops of the sample to each test tube.
- Cool the tubes to approximately 0°C using an ice bath.
- Slowly add 2 mL of 10% NaNO2 to each tube.
- Keep the mixture in the ice bath for 5 minutes, then warm to room temperature.
- Allow the mixture to stand in the ice bath for 15 minutes.
- Observe for effervescence, gas color, oily layer formation, or precipitate formation.
Heinsberg Test Procedure
- Place 5 drops of aniline into a test tube.
- Add 5 mL of 10% NaOH and 10 drops of benzenesulfonyl chloride.
- Vigorously shake the mixture for 5 minutes.
- Record observations of color changes or physical state changes.
- Use litmus paper to confirm the solution's alkalinity.
- Cool the mixture to room temperature and add 6M HCl until acidic.
- Observe and record final color changes or physical state changes.
- Repeat the procedure for other organic amines like N-methylamine and N,N-dimethylaniline.
