Overview
This chapter explores organic compounds that contain nitrogen as part of their functional group. Among the many nitrogen-containing compounds, amines and nitro compounds are particularly important due to their widespread applications in dyes, drugs, fertilizers, and industrial chemistry. Amines are
Key Concepts
Amines are classified based on
Amines are classified based on the number of alkyl or aryl groups attached to the nitrogen atom: primary (1°) has one group, secondary (2°) has two, a
In IUPAC naming
In IUPAC naming, aliphatic amines are named by replacing the '-e' of the parent alkane with '-amine'. For secondary and tertiary amines, the prefix 'N
Amines are basic due to
Amines are basic due to the lone pair on nitrogen. Aliphatic amines are stronger bases than ammonia because alkyl groups increase electron density on
Primary amines can be prepared by
Primary amines can be prepared by reducing nitriles, amides, or nitro compounds; through alkylation of ammonia (with excess NH₃ to prevent over-alkyla
Amines undergo alkylation
Amines undergo alkylation, acylation, carbylamine reaction (only primary), diazotization (aromatic primary amines), and form Schiff bases with carbony
