Structure Amines are a derivative of ammonia where organic groups replace one or more of the Hydrogen's. NH3 RNH2 R2NH R2N Primary Secondary Tertiary Amine Amine Amine
Ammonia VS. Amine The Chemistry of amines and ammonia are similar. The most obvious feature is their basicity (being able to accept a proton) which comes from the unshared pair of electrons. Compare acceptance of a proton in an Amine and an ammonia. H H R\ | R\ | R- N : + H R – N – H R- N : + H R – N – H R/ | R/ | R R
Naming Amines When naming Amines you sue the Prefix “amino” and the suffix “-amine” Lower amines Higher amines have are named with the prefix amino as the suffix a functional group. -amine. NH2 H\ H | N – C – H CH – CH – CH – CH – CH H/ H Methylamine 2-Aminopentane
Prepared Amines Amines can be prepared by a substitution process called Alkylation, where an alkyl group becomes bonded to a Nitrogen. http://www.chem.ucalgary.ca/courses/351/Carey5th/Ch22/ch22-3-1.html
