an alkyl group.

Another way of naming amines is through their common names. Some
simple amines are most often referred to by their common names. The names for
aliphatic amines are formed by naming the alkyl group attached to the nitrogen atom,
followed by the ending amine.

Aromatic Amines
46.
The most important aromatic amines is aniline. (C 6H5NH2).
Derivatives are named as substituted anilines. To identify a substituted aniline in which
the alkyl group is attached to the nitrogen atom, an N- is placed before the group name
to indicate that it is bonded to nitrogen atom and not to the carbon atom in the ring.

Physiologically, aniline is a toxic substance. It is easily absorbed
through the skin and affects both the blood and the nevous system. Aniline
reduces the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood by converting hemoglobin to
methemoglobin. Methemoglobin is the oxidized form of hemoglobin in which the
iron has gone from a +2 to a +3 oxidation state.

Heterocyclic Compounds ring compounds in which the atoms in the ring are
not all alike.
The most common heteroatoms are oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur. A number
of the nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds are present in naturally
occurring biological substances such as DNA, which controls heredity.

Some aromatic amines are all liquids or solids. They are colorless or
almost colorless when freshly prepared, but become dark brown when exposed
to air and light.
