Q

Why is basicity low in aromatic amines

A

W/ aromatic amines, NH2 is an ED group so lone pair on N is drawn into delocalised ring, reducing electron density on lone pair

17
Q

Synthesis of 4’ ammonium salts

A

Ethanolic NH3 and a large excess of the haloalkane

18
Q

Explaining why something is the stronger base

A

X has a greater electron density on N lone pair as it is a 3’ /2’/ 1’amine
and therefore X has a greater ability to accept H+

19
Q

Synthesis of 2’ amines

A

Excess haloalkane and 1’ amine

Neutralise w/ NaOH

20
Q

Synthesis of 3’ amines

A

Excess haloalkane and 2’ amine

Neutralise w/ NaOH

21
Q

Synthesis of aromatic amines

A

Nitrophenol + 6[H] —> phenylamine + 2 H2O
Sn - gets reduced
Conc. HCl
