Name 2 ways of making amines
Reducing nitriles
Nucleophilic substitution
Amine preparation via nitrile reduction
LiAlH4
Dry ether/dilute HCl
Or
H2
High temp/press
Ni catalyst
Amine production via nucleophilic substitution
Excess, conc ethanolic NH3
Slight pressure
Makes NH4Cl
Amine production via nucleophilic substitution further substitutions
Excess NH3, mostly primary
Excess haloalkane, mixture
Amines themselves are nucleophile/lps
Quaternary use din fabric softener
Pheylamine acid reaction
Basic
—> NaOH + NH3+ benzene
Nitrobenzene reduction
Tin
Conc HCl
Oxidised
Makes H2
NO2 —> NH2
Phenylamine steam distillation
Separate from aq impurities
Org compounds may decompose before bp
cant use simple distillation
Steam lowers bp
Immsicible water + Phenylamine mixture
Acid base amine reactions
Bond to H+/proton acceptor
Dative covalent bond
e- C becomes nucleophile
Higher e- density/lp availability/base strength
Proton accepting/lp donation more likely
Basicity
Ka/pKa
Ability to donate lp to H2O H+
Increase no. Alkyl groups around around N, increase e-s released, increase proton acceptance, increase lp donation to H+
Methylamine basicity
Methyl e-s released to N
+ve inductive effect
Increase N e- density
More delta -ve
easier proton acceptance/H+ lp donation
