Classification of amines
Classification of amines
Classification in hybridization: 1° called amino. 2° called Imino, 3° called tertiary amine. 2° & 3° further into symmetrical ( having same alkyl/ aryl groups connected ) and unsymmetrical ( diff groups connected to N atom )

Study Notes
Organic Chemistry Overview
- Organic chemistry focuses on carbon-containing compounds, studying their structure, properties, reactions, and synthesis.
- Carbon compounds primarily include hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus.
Key Concepts
-
Functional Groups: Key to determining molecular reactivity and properties, including:
- Hydroxyl (-OH)
- Carbonyl (C=O)
- Carboxyl (-COOH)
- Amino (-NH2)
- Alkyl groups (C-H chains)
Classes of Organic Compounds
-
Alkanes (Saturated Hydrocarbons):
- General formula: CnH2n+2
- Examples include Methane (CH4) and Ethane (C2H6).
-
Alkenes (Unsaturated Hydrocarbons):
- General formula: CnH2n
- Characterized by a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C), e.g., Ethylene (C2H4).
-
Alkynes (Unsaturated Hydrocarbons):
- General formula: CnH2n-2
- Contains at least one carbon-carbon triple bond (C≡C), e.g., Acetylene (C2H2).
-
Aromatics:
- Compounds with aromatic rings that have delocalized π electrons, e.g., Benzene (C6H6).
-
Alcohols:
- Contain hydroxyl (-OH) groups, e.g., Ethanol (C2H5OH).
-
Carboxylic Acids:
- Have a carboxyl (-COOH) group, e.g., Acetic acid (C2H4O2).
-
Esters:
- Formed from alcohol and carboxylic acid reactions, e.g., Ethyl acetate (C4H8O2).
-
Amines:
- Ammonia derivatives, with hydrogen replaced by alkyl or aryl groups, e.g., Ethylamine (C2H7N).
Reaction Types
-
Addition Reactions:
- Atoms/groups added to double/triple bonds in alkenes/alkynes.
-
Substitution Reactions:
- Replacement of one atom/group with another, typical in aromatic compounds.
-
Elimination Reactions:
- Removal of atoms/groups from adjacent carbons, creating double or triple bonds.
-
Rearrangement Reactions:
- Molecular structures reconfigure to form isomers.
Synthesis and Mechanisms
-
Synthetic Strategies:
- Retrosynthetic analysis breaks complex molecules into simpler parts.
- Green chemistry aims to reduce or eliminate hazardous substances in chemical processes.
-
Reaction Mechanisms:
- Detailed transformations of reactants to products featuring intermediates and transition states.
Importance
- Organic chemistry is essential in biology, medicine, and materials science.
- Critical for developing pharmaceuticals, agricultural chemicals, and in biochemistry.
