amines

Question 1

What is the basic structure of amines?

how do yo name amines?

Answer 1

amines are nitrogen based groups. they are named by removing the -e on the corresponding alkane and adding amine.
they are also identified by how carbons that is attached to it (primary, secondary etc..)
R groups attched directly to the N is identified with an N for each group

Question 2

Describe the basicity of amines.

Answer 2

Amine are weakly basic. the more electron withdrawing groups makes them less basic
the more electron donating groups makes the more basic. And good nucleophiles.

Question 3

Can amines hydrogen bond?

Answer 3

Yes. this makes them have high boiling points.

low molecular weight amines is soluble in water. tertiary amines cannot hydrogen bond

Question 4

What are some reactions of amines?

Answer 4

Amide formation - amines with carboxylic acids and derivatives
Alkylation - amines and alkyl halides

amines are good nucleophiles
