Amines Flashcards
Hofmann ammonolysis reagents
1). Ethanolic NH3
2). NaOH
Hofmann ammonolysis follows
Sn2 mechanism
Reactivity order of Hofmann ammonolysis
primary > secondary > tertiary
RI > RBr> RCl
Gabriel Phthalimide Synthesis used to prepare
primary aliphatic amines
Hoffmann exhaustive methylation
Amine is reacted with CH3I
Physical properties of lower aliphatic amines
they are gases with fishy odour and soluble in water due to H-bonding.
Physical properties of primary amines with 3 or more carbon atoms
they are liquid and still higher ones are solid.
Physical properties of aniline and other arylamines
they are usually colorless but get colored on storage due to atmospheric oxidation
The boiling point and solubility in water of Amines is lower than
those of alcohols of similar molar mass due to weaker H- bonding in Amines.
The order of bp of isomeric amines
1°>2°>3°
Electrophilic aromatic substitution (SEAr) is
Electrophilic aromatic substitution (SEAr) is an organic reaction in which an atom that is attached to an aromatic system (usually hydrogen) is replaced by an electrophile.
In bromination of Aniline what is the reagent?
Bromine water (3 eq. of Br2) , And forms 2,4,6 - tribromoaniline
color of 2,4,6 - tribromoaniline
white ppt
what is the reagent for monobromination
Acetic anhydride (CH3CO)2O and a (base) pyridine
Solvent used in monobromination is
Br2, CH2COOH (solvent)
3rd step for monobromination
hydrolyses
Nature of aniline
basic
How does nitration of aniline occur?
Aniline is reacted with acidic (HNO₃ + H₂SO₄)
Ratio of Nitration products — o-, m-, p-
2:47:51 %
when is Anilinium ion is formed
When acid base reaction occure between aniline and (HNO₃ + H₂SO₄)
Process of sulphonation of aniline
1). H₂SO₄
After the formation of salt
2). Heat at temp. 453-473K
Use of Sulphonilic acid
Used in making dyes
Sulphonilic acid resonate as
Zwitter ion (positive and negative charges in a molecule)
Why does Aniline do not show Friedel Crafts reactions?
Aniline gets deactivated due to salt formation.
What is the temperature for mononitration during acid base reaction?
10-degree Celsius
What is Heinsberg’s test?
It is used to distinguish among 1°, 2°, 3° Amines.
