why are amines basic
contains a basic nitrogen atom with a lone pair of electrons which can accept a proton
how do you classify amines
the number of alkyl groups attached to the N
naming amines
in booklet
How do amines react with an acid
salt
no water
look in booklet
what reagents do you need to prepare aliphatic amine
-haloalkane
-excess ammonia (2NH3) (ethanolic)
what is the equation for the preparation of ethyl amine
CH3CH2Cl+2NH3———–>CH3CH2NH2+ NH4+Cl-
what type of reaction is the preparation of aliphatic amines
nucleophilic substitution
why is this not a good method for preparing an aliphatic amine
further substitution can take place
what reagent do you need to prepare aromatic amines
aromatic nitrocompound
what conditions do you need for preparation if aromatic amines
Sn(tin)
conc HCl
