Amines • Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen are the 3 most common elements in organic compounds • Because of the wide distribution of amines in the biological world, Nitrogen is the fourth most common element.
Structure and Classification • The functional group for amines is a Nitrogen bonded to alkyl groups and/or Hydrogen • Amines are classified as 1o, 2o, or 3o based on The number of alkyl groups bonded to the Nitrogen!!
Further Classification • Amines are further classified as Aliphatic or Aromatic • Aliphatic Amines: all carbons bonded to the nitrogen are derived from alkyl groups • Aromatic Amines: one or more of the carbons bonded to the nitrogen are in an aromatic ring
Heterocyclic Amines • An amine in which the Nitrogen is a member of a ring is classified as a Heterocyclic Amine • When the Nitrogen is part of a regular ring, it is a Heterocyclic Aliphatic Amine • When the Nitrogen is part of an aromatic rind, it is a Heterocyclic Aromatic Amine
Examples * * * Important building blocks for the amino bases in DNA and RNA
DRUGS!!!! • Amines are typically very important in drugs, both legal and illegal • See Chemical Connections 16A and 16B to learn more!!!
IUPAC Nomenclature • IUPAC names for 1o aliphatic amines are derived just like alcohols, you drop the -e from the parent name and add -amine • Use numbers to indicate location of amino
Aromatic Amines • IUPAC keeps the common name Aniline:
2o and 3o Amines • 2o and 3o amines are named as N-substituted primary amines • The largest alkyl group bonded to the Nitrogen is taken as the parent amine • The smaller groups are named as substituents and their locations are indicated with an N-
Amine Salts • When four atoms or groups are bonded to the Nitrogen, the Nitrogen bears a positive charge. • The cation is usually associated with an anion and presented as a salt
Naming Amine Salts • The ending -amine is replaced by -ammonium and the name of the anion is added after.
Physical Properties • Like Ammonia, low molecular weight amines have very sharp odors • Amines are polar because of the difference in electronegativity between Nitrogen and Hydrogen and also between Nitrogen and Carbon. • 1o and 2o amines have a Hydrogen bonded to a Nitrogen so they are capable of Hydrogen bonding to each other • 3o Amines do not have a Hydrogen bonded to Nitrogen so they can not Hydrogen bond to one another. • All classes of amines can H-Bond with water and are therefore soluble in water!!
Reactions of Amines • Basicity • Due to the lone pair of electrons on the Nitrogen, amines are weak bases and aqueous solutions of amines are basic. • Recall, a base is a substance that will accept a hydrogen in a reaction.
Reactions with Acids • Amines react completely with strong acids to form water soluable salts.
