amines Flashcards
what are amines derived from
-ammonia molecules
what do all amines contain
-a nitrogen atom where hydrogens are replaced with an organism group (e.g an alkyl group)
what are the four types of amines
-primary
-secondary
-tertiary
-quaternary
what does a primary amine contain
-nitrogen with 1 alkyl group attached
what does a secondary amine contain
-nitrogen with 2 alkyl group attached
what does a tertiary amine contain
-nitrogen with 3 alkyl group attached
what does a quaternary amine contain
-nitrogen with 4 alkyl group attached
what does a phenylamine contain
-benzene ring
what type of amine is phenylamine
-a primary amine
what are non aromatics knows as
-aliphatic amines (straight chain)
Do amines act as an acid or a base
-a base
why do amines act as a base
-as they have a lone pair of electrons that allows them to accept a proton
how does a proton bond to an amine
-dative covalent bond
where do both electrons originate from when a proton datively bonds to an amine
-from the lone pair on the nitrogen
