Module 6: Amine, Chirality, Amino Acid, Nitriles, Amide Flashcards
Amines
What is an amine
Organic compound derived from ammonia in which one or more h atoms has been replaced by a carbon chain or ring
Amines
What is the nitrogen attached to in an aliphatic amine
Atleast one alkyl group
Amines
What is the nitrogen attached to in an aromatic amine
Directly attached to Aromatic ring
Amines
What are they classifies into
Primary secondary tertiary
Amines
Is ammonia an amine
No
Amines
General structure for primary
R-NH2
Amines
General structure for secondary
R-NH-R’
Amines
What is general structure for tertiary
R-NR’-R’’
Amines
How do you name primary amine where amine group on end of chain
Alkylamine
Amines
How do you name a primary amine where amine in middle of carbon chai.
2-aminealkane
Amines
How do you name a secondary or tertiary
N-alkyl-N-alkylamine etc
Amines
What can they act as
Bases and nucleophiles
Amines
Why can they act as bases
Can accept protons (lone pair on N)
Amines
What effect do the R groups have
Inducing effect as push electrons towards N atom
Amines
Which classification of amines are the strongest base and why
Has more inducing effect
Amines
What is the weakest base and why
Phenylamine amine as lone pair is partially delocalised so pulled away so less available to accept proton
Amines
What bond is formed when an amine accepts a proton
Dative covalent bond
Amines
What is produced in reaction with acid
Alkylammonium salt
Preparation of Amines
What is the single step method to pepare an primary amine
Nucleophilic substitution with ammonia
Preparation of Amines
What are the conditions for nucleophilic substitution with haloalkane
Excess Ethanoic ammonia, reflux
Preparation of Amines
What is produced in reaction haloalkane and excess ammonia
Primary amine + ammonium salt
Preparation of Amines
Mechanism
Need to know *
Preparation of Amines
Equation for reaction between chloroethane and NH3
CH3CH2Cl + NH3 —> CH3CH2NH2 + NH4+Cl-
Preparation of Amines
Why is ethanol used as solvent
To prevent substitution of the haloalkane by water to produce alcohols
