Q

why do primary aliphatic amines act as Bronsted-Lowry bases?

A
  • the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen is readily available to form a dative covalent bond with a H+
  • it is accepting a proton

Q

why are primary aliphatic amines stronger bases than ammonia?

A
  • primary aliphatic amines are stronger bases than ammonia
  • the alkyl groups are electron releasing and push electrons towards the nitrogen atom
  • making it a stronger base

16
Q

what does the reaction with ethanoyl chloride lead to

A
  • it leads to the formation of a new functional group
  • carbonyl group is next to the NH group
17
Q

reaction of primary aliphatic amines with halogenoalkanes - type of reaction

A
  • halogenoalkanes undergo nucelophilic substitution
  • form secondary amines
18
Q

reaction of primary aliphatic amines with halogenoalkanes - example

A

butylamine + chloroethane -> N-ethylbutylamine + HCl

19
Q

reaction of primary aliphatic amines with copper (II) ions - what is formed

A

complex ions

20
Q

how are these complex ions formed

A
  • lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen allows amines to act as ligands
  • hence they form dative covalent bonds inot transition metal ions to form coloured complex ions
21
Q

reaction of primary aliphatic amines with copper (II) ions - example

A

4 CH3CH2NH2 + Cu(H2O)6 2+ ⇌ [Cu(CH3CH2NH2)4(H2O2)2]2+ + 4 H2O

22
Q

reaction of primary aliphatic amines with copper (II) ions - example (ammonia as the ligand)

A

4NH3 + Cu(H2O)6 2+ ⇌ [Cu(NH3)4(H2O)2]2+ + 4H2O

light blue solution ⇌ deep blue solution

23
Q

do primary aromatic amines for basic solutions?

A
  • no
  • the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen delocalise with the ring of electrons on the benzene ring
  • N is less acceptable to protons
24
Q

difference in basicity of ammonia, primary aliphatic amines and primary aromatic amines

A
  • ammonia is more basic than aromatic amines - there is no partial delocalisation of N lone pair
  • aliphatic amines are more basic than both ammonia and aromatic amines - alkyl groups have an inductive effect on the N lone pair
25
Q

what is meant by inductive effect

A

The effect on electron density in one portion of a molecule

26
Q

formation of primary aliphatic amines from halogenoalkanes
- reagents
- conditions
- type of reaction

A
  • excess ammonia
  • ethanol and heat
  • nucleophilic substitution
27
Q

formation of primary aliphatic amines from halogenoalkanes details

A
  • the nitrogen lone pair on the ammonia acts as a nucleophile and replaces the halogen on the halogenoalkane
  • when halogenoalkane is reacted with excess ammonia, hot ethanol under pressure, a primary amine is formed
28
Q

formation of primary aliphatic amines from the reduction of nitriles
- reagents
- conditions
- type of reaction

A
  • aqueous ethanol, LiAlH4 in dry ether, nickel catlayst
  • heat under reflux
  • reduction
29
Q

formation of primary aliphatic amines from the reduction of nitriles details

A
  • nitriles contain a -CN group which can be reduced to an -NH2 group
  • nitrile vapour and H2 gas are passed over a nickel catlayst or LiAlH4 in dry ether and can be used to form a primary amine
30
Q

how can aromatic nitroarenes be reduced to form amines?
- reagents
- conditions
- mechanism

A
  • tin and HCl
  • iron and HCl
  • heating
  • reduction
31
Q

preparing amides
- change in functional group
- reagent
- condition

A
  • acyl chloride to secondary amide
  • primary amine
  • room temperature
