Amines

Amines are organic compounds containing a nitrogen atom with one or more alkyl or aryl groups attached.

Primary Amines

Amines with one alkyl or aryl group directly bonded to the nitrogen atom.

Secondary Amines

Amines with two alkyl or aryl groups directly bonded to the nitrogen atom.

Tertiary Amines

Amines with three alkyl or aryl groups directly bonded to the nitrogen atom.

Systematic Nomenclature of Primary Amines

A more systematic way to name primary amines, using the name of the parent chain or ring system and adding the suffix "amine" (e.g., ethanamine, cyclohexanamine).

Classification of Amines by Attached Groups

The nitrogen atom in amines can be attached to different groups such as alkyl (aliphatic) or aryl (aromatic) groups, leading to different types of amines.

Basicity of Amines

The basicity of amines can differ in gas phase and aqueous solution due to solvation effects. Generally, tertiary amines are more basic than secondary amines, which are more basic than primary amines.

Basicity of Aliphatic vs. Aromatic Amines

Aliphatic amines are more basic than aromatic amines because the lone pair on the nitrogen in aliphatic amines is localized and readily available for bonding with a proton.

Electron Donation/Withdrawal and Basicity

Alkyl groups have a +I effect, increasing electron density on the nitrogen and enhancing basicity. In contrast, phenyl groups have a -I effect, reducing electron density and decreasing basicity.

Electrophilic Substitution of Aromatic Amines

Aromatic amines are more reactive than benzene in electrophilic substitution reactions due to the activating effect of the amino group, which donates electron density to the ring.

Study Notes

Aromatic Amines

  • Aromatic amines are a class of organic compounds containing an amine group attached to an aromatic ring
  • Amines are classified as primary (1°), secondary (2°), or tertiary (3°) based on the number of organic groups attached to the nitrogen atom.
  • Alkyl, aryl, or aralkyl amines are further classifications based on the type of carbon atoms attached to the nitrogen.

Nomenclature of Amines

  • Primary Amines: Common nomenclature names most primary amines as alkylamines. Systematic nomenclature involves adding the suffix "-amine" to the chain or ring system to which the NH₂ group is attached.
  • Secondary and Tertiary Amines: Generally named similarly to primary amines, using prefixes like "di-" or "tri-" if the organic groups are the same. Or, individual alkyl groups are identified in the name.

Basicity of Amines

  • Gas Phase: Basicity order in gas phase is (CH₃)₃N > (CH₃)₂NH > CH₃NH₂ > NH₃
  • Aqueous Phase: Basicity order in aqueous solutions is (CH₃)₂NH > CH₃NH₂ > (CH₃)₃N > NH₃. The difference in order is due to solvation effects. Amines in water solution exist as ammonium ions.
  • Arylamines vs Cyclohexylamines: Arylamines (e.g., aniline) are weaker bases than cyclohexylamines because of resonance stabilization.

Preparation of Aromatic Amines

  • Reduction of Nitro Compounds: Aromatic nitro compounds can be reduced to aromatic amines using metal catalysts (tin, iron, or zinc) and an acid (hydrochloric or acetic acid).
  • From Carboxylic Acids and Derivatives: Certain aromatic amines can be prepared from carboxylic acids and their derivatives by various rearrangement reactions.

Reactions of Aromatic Amines

  • Reaction as Nucleophiles: Aromatic amines can undergo alkylation with alkyl halides to form quaternary ammonium salts.
  • Acylation: Primary and secondary aromatic amines react with acid anhydrides or acid halides to form amides.
  • Electrophilic Substitution: Aromatic amines are more reactive than benzene in electrophilic substitution reactions. The amino group activates the ring towards substitution, primarily in the ortho and para positions.

Specific Reactions

  • Halogenation: Aromatic amines undergo halogenation without the use of Lewis acids and usually give polyhalogenated products due to the strong activating effect of the amine group.
  • Nitration: Direct nitration of aromatic amines is often not possible as the amine group is oxidized if strong oxidizing agent is used. Nitration can be accomplished indirectly .
  • Diazotization: Primary aromatic amines can be diazotized (converted into diazonium salts) by reacting with nitrous acid (HNO₂).
  • Sandmeyer Reaction: In the Sandmeyer reaction, diazonium salts are converted into various aryl halides, nitriles, or other substituted products. The reaction typically involves copper(I) salts and other metal salts in selective substitution of the diazonium groups.
