▪ Basic Nomenclature and Classification of Amines ▪ Chemical reactions of Amine


a. 1o amine 1. Reactions showing with basic nature
b. 2o amine i. Reaction with acids to form salts
c. 3o amine ii. Reaction with Chloro Platinic/Auric acid
iii. Reaction with H2O
▪ Preparation of Amines 2. Benzoylation reaction
1. Ammonolysis of alkyl halide 3. Reaction with Tilden reagent(NOCl)
→ NH3/ /-HX 4. Reaction with Phosgene(COCl2)
→ SN2 mechanism 5. Electrophilic Substitution reaction
→ Order of reactivity : RI > RBr > RCl > RF i. Sulphonation
→ 1o,2o,3o and Quarternary ammonium salt are formed ii. Friedel Crafts Alkylation/ Acylation❌
2. Ammonolysis of alcohols iii. Ipso substitution(-COOH, -SO3H)
→ NH3/Al2O3/ 6. Reaction with HNO2
→ Quarternary ammonium salt is not formed due to steric hindrance i. 1o amine
→ In excess ammonia is used, then main product will be 1 o amine ii. 2o amine
3. Alkylation of Azide ion and Reduction iii. 3o amine
→ Much better method to prepare 1o amine iv. 3o aryl amine
→ R-X, LAH 7. Diazonium salt, Diazotisation reaction
→ SN2 attack by Azide ion ▫ Coupling reaction of BDC
4. Hoffmann exhaustive alkylation ▫ Preparation of Benzene Diazonium salt
→ 1o, 2o , 3o amine to 4o ammonium salt 8. Libermann's nitro reaction
→ Reagent = CH3I → Phenol reacts with (HONO)
→ Quarternary ammonium halide salt react with moist Ag 2O to give → Forms p-nitrosophenol
silver halide as precipitate → Tautomerism occurs
→ Quarternary ammonium hydroxide on at 400K, undergoes → In presence of conc. H2SO4 = GRB
elimination and produces alkene
5. Hoffmann Bromamide degradation
→ Amides => Amines ▪ Test involving Amines
→ For 1o aliphatic or aromatic Amide 1. Carbylamine reaction(Iso-Cyanide Test)
→ Reagent = KOH/Br2 → CHCl3/ alc. KOH/
6. Reduction of Nitro compounds → Only for 1o aliphatic or aromatic amine
→ H2/Pd or Metal+Acid or LAH → Alkyl Isocyanide => Very bad smell(Product)
7. Reduction of Nitriles and Isonitriles → Nu- = RNH2 , E+ = CCl2
8. Reduction of Oxime 2. Hinsberg's Test
9. Reduction of Amides → Ph-SO2Cl
10. Reductive of Amination → SN2 mechanism
11. Gabriel-phthalimide synthesis → 1o amine✔, 2o amine✔, 3o amine❌
→ For 1o aliphatic amines 3. Hoffmann's mustard oil test
→ Alc. KOH/ R-X/ H2O(-OH) i. CS2/ HgCl2/
→ Phthalimide => 1o aliphatic amine ii. Alkyl Isothiocyanate(Smell like mustard oil)
→ Follows SN2 mechanism
12. By Hydrosysis R-NC and RNCO
13. From Grignard Reagent(R-MgX)
14. Schmidt reaction
→ Reagent = N3H-H2SO4/
→ Acyl chloride => 1o amine

▪ Physical Properties of Amine


1. Boiling point
→ 1o amine > 2o amine > 3o amine
→ Intermolecular forces in 1o amine and 2o amine
→ H bonding
2. Solubility
→ 1o amine > 2o amine > 3o amine
→ 1o amine and 2o amine can form H-bond with water
→ Decreases with increase in size of alkyl group
3. Basic nature
→ Inductive effect(3o > 2o > 1o)
→ Steric hindrance
→ Inversely prop. to No. of resonating structure
→ Aromatic amines are less basic than Aliphatic
→ %s ∝ Electronegativity ∝ 1/Basicity
→ Aniline are more basic than substituted Aniline
→ Ortho substituted Aniline are less basic due to ortho effect
