What to Focus On

  • Amines are derivatives of ammonia.
  • Nitrogen in amines is sp3 hybridised and pyramidal.
  • Amines are primary, secondary, or tertiary.
  • Common names use alkyl group + amine.
  • IUPAC names of primary amines use the suffix amine.
  • N is used for substituents attached to nitrogen.
  • Nitro compounds are reduced to amines.
  • Ammonolysis is carried out in a sealed tube at 373 K.
  • Ammonolysis gives a mixture of amines and a quaternary ammonium salt.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All amines have the same basic strength because they all contain nitrogen with a lone pair.

Primary amines are always the strongest bases, secondary amines next, and tertiary amines the weakest in every situation.

Aniline is a stronger base than ammonia because the benzene ring has extra carbon atoms and can donate electron density.
