5 Questions
What is the general structure of amines and what functional groups do they contain?
Amines contain a basic nitrogen atom with a lone pair and are formally derivatives of ammonia, wherein one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by a substituent such as an alkyl or aryl group.
Give examples of important amines mentioned in the text.
Important amines include amino acids, biogenic amines, trimethylamine, and aniline.
What is the difference between primary (1°) amines and aromatic amines?
Primary (1°) amines arise when one of three hydrogen atoms in ammonia is replaced by an alkyl or aromatic group, while aromatic amines have the nitrogen atom connected to an aromatic ring.
How are amines classified based on the nature and number of substituents on nitrogen?
Amines can be classified into aliphatic amines (containing only H and alkyl substituents) and aromatic amines (connected to an aromatic ring).
What are compounds with a nitrogen atom attached to a carbonyl group called, and how do they differ from amines?
Compounds with a nitrogen atom attached to a carbonyl group are called amides, and they have different chemical properties from amines.
