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 attached to the nitrogen, secondary amines have two, and tertiary amines have three.
Learning Objectives
- Students should be able to distinguish primary, secondary, and tertiary amines using nitrous acid and Heinsberg tests after the lab activity.
Prayer Before Class
- Prayer expressing gratitude for wisdom, understanding, a lucid mind, and ease of learning to comprehend the subject well.
- The prayer also asks for guidance and successful completion of work in the name of Jesus Christ.
Properties of Amines
- Amines have a distinctive "fishy" smell.
- They are basic organic compounds, substantially basic in aqueous solutions.
- They can be completely protonated by dilute solutions of strong acids.
- Amines are lighter than water.
- The solubility in water decreases with increasing carbon chain length.
- Boiling points of amines are generally lower than alcohols and carboxylic acids with comparable molecular masses.
- Hydrogen bonding significantly influences the properties of primary and secondary amines.
- Methyl and ethyl amines are gaseous under standard conditions.
Tests for the Presence of Amines
Nitrous Acid Test
- To identify primary aliphatic amines, add 6M HCl, 5 drops of the sample, and 2mL of 10% NaNO2 to the test tube.
- Cool to 0°C and allow it to stand in ice bath.
- Observe for effervescence, gas color, oily layer formation, or precipitate appearance.
Heinsberg Test
- Place 5 drops of aniline, 5mL of 10% NaOH, and 10 drops of benzenesulfonyl chloride in a test tube.
- Vigorously shake the mixture for 5 minutes.
- Observe any color or physical state changes. Use litmus paper to verify alkalinity.
- Cool to room temperature and add 6M HCl until acidic.
- Again, observe any color or physical state changes.
- Repeat for other organic amines, like N-methylamine and N,N-dimethylaniline.
