What to Focus On

  • Amines are derivatives of ammonia.
  • Primary, secondary, and tertiary amines differ by the number of carbon groups on nitrogen.
  • Amines are basic because of the lone pair on nitrogen.

  • Aniline has formula C6H5NH2.
  • NH2 is an o-, p-directing activating group.
  • Aniline often gives 2,4,6-trisubstituted products.

  • Diazonium salts have the general formula Ar-N2+X-.
  • They are prepared by diazotisation at 273-278 K.
  • Aromatic diazonium salts are short-lived but useful.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Aniline is a strong base because it has a nitrogen atom with a lone pair.

Acetylation of aniline is done to make the ring more reactive for nitration or bromination.

Aniline gives easy monosubstitution because the amino group is only mildly activating.

Memory Tips

Aniline is o- and p-directing and activates the benzene ring

Acetylation protects aniline before substitution

Acetanilide can be hydrolysed back to aniline
