Classification of amines
Physical Properties of Amines The methylamines (mono-, di-, tri-) and ethylamine are gases at room temperature , other amines are liquid at room temperature. Amines are irritating to the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes and are toxic by ingestion. Aromatic amines are generally toxic. Amines are readily absorbed through the skin and affect both the blood and the nervous system. Amines B.P are higher than alkane but not in alcohol.
Both amine and ammonia are produce basic aqueous solution. Amine and ammonia are weak base due to accepter of proton. NH 3 + H 2 O → NH 4 + OH Increase mass decrease solubility. Colourless . Physical Properties of Amines
Nomenclature of amines
Method of preparation of amines From alkyl halide: by ammonolysis From alkyl halide: Gabriel phthalimide synthesis(alkylation of phthalimide ) From oximes , alkyl cyanides, amides and nitro compounds: by reduction From oximes From alkyl cyanide(alkyl nitriles) From amides From nitro compounds From amides: by hoffman bromamide degradation
1. From alkyl halide: by ammonolysis H-NH 2 100˚C under pressure
2. From alkyl halide: Gabriel phthalimide synthesis
3. From oximes , alkyl cyanides, amides and nitro compounds: by reduction
a. From oximes Aldoxime or ketoximes are reduce by sodium and ethanol to primary amine. R- CH= N-OH + 4[H] → R-CH 2 -NH 2 + H 2 O Ketoxime . Acetaloxime .
b. From alkyl cyanide(alkyl nitriles ) Alkyl cyanide on reduction by Na and ethanol give primary amine. R-C ≡ N + 4[H] → R-CH 2 -NH 2 Eg . Acetonitrile and Propanenitrile .
c. From amides 4[H]
d. From nitro compound Nitro compounds are reduced by tin( Sn ) or iron and con HCl to corresponding primary amines. R- NO 2 + 6[H] → R- NH 2 + 2H 2 O Eg . Nitrobenzene. Nitropropane .
e. Hoffman bromamide degradation

1. Basic nature of amines R- NH 2 + H + X → R-NH 3 + X - ammonium salts R-NH 3 + X - + NaOH → R-NH2 + NaX + H 2 O This shows that the reaction is reversible. C 2 H 5 -NH 2 + HCl < ==> C 2 H 5 -NH 3 + Cl - Ethylamine ethyl ammonium chloride Aqueous solutions amines are basic, and they turn red litmus paper blue. R-NH 2 + H-O-H R- NH 3 + + OH - Weak base strongerbase
2. Action of nitrous acid Primary, secondary & tertiary amines react differently with nitrous acid. Since nitrous acid is unstable, it is prepared in situ(Latin- reaction mixture) at 273K- 278K. NaNO 2 + HCl → NaCl + HNO 2 Except methyl and ethylamine, all primary amine give aliphatic diazonium salt.

5. Hoffmann elimination Tetra alkyl ammonium halide on heating with moist Ag 2 O form tetra-alkyl ammonium hydroxides. This is deliquescent crystalline solid and basic in nature. ( of a solid) tending to absorb moisture from the air and dissolve in it. On heating undergo β -elimination to form alkene, tertiary amine and water.

2. Gatterman reactions diazonium groups are replaced with Cl or Br by treating the diazonium salt solution with halogen acid in the presence of copper powder.
3. Replacement of –I Diazonium group may be replaced by iodine by treatment with potassium iodide.
4. The Schiemann reaction the diazonium group is replaced by hydrogen after treatment with mild reducing agents such as hypophosphorous acid (or) ethanol.
Importance of Diazonium salts Arene diazonium salts are intermediates to introduce –F, - Cl , -Br, -I, -CN, -H, -OH, NO2 groups in aromatic ring. Azo comounds are strongly coloured (red, yellow, orange, blue) and used as dyes.
