Q

strength of amines as bases

A

strength of base is determined by how available the nitrogen lone pair is to accept a proton
the positive inductor effect is the availability of an alkyl group to release electron density through a covalent bond
phenyls are weaker as lone pair on nitrogen delocalises into the phenyl ring

Q

nucleophilic addition

A

you cant control the amount of primary, secondary and tertiary amines that form so the products will be a mixture
not an efficient way of forming an amine

Q

reduction of nitriles

A

if a primary amine is the desired product a reduction of a nitrile can be used
haloalkanes undergo a nucleophilic substitution with a cyanide ion in ethanolic and aqueous conditions
nitrile formed can be reduced to an amine functional group
requires hydrogen and nickel catalyst
more expensive

Q

formation of phenylamine

A

nitrobenzene is made by electrophilic substitution
nitro group reduced to amine functional group which needs hcl and tin catalyst
as this process takes place in presence of hcl the product formed can react with hcl to form phenylammonium chloride

to prevent this naoh can be added which is a strong base

amides used to make
polymers like nylon
dyes
drugs and pharmaceuticals
