Classes of Amines
Primary (1 ): Has one alkyl group
bonded to the nitrogen (RNH2).
Secondary (2 ): Has two alkyl groups
bonded to the nitrogen (R2NH).
Tertiary (3 ): Has three alkyl groups
bonded to the nitrogen (R3N).
Quaternary (4 ): Has four alkyl groups
bonded to the nitrogen and the nitrogen
bears a positive charge(R4N+).

Common Names
= names of the alkyl/aryl groups bonded + amine
= prefixes di-, tri-, and tetra used to describe
two, three or four identical subs.
Chapter 1
Amine as Substituent
IUPAC Names
Name is based on longest carbon chain.
-e of alkane is replaced with -amine.
Substituents on nitrogen have N- prefix.
3-bromo-1-pentanamine
N,N-dimethyl-3-hexanamine

Rank each set of compounds in order
of increasing boiling points and explain your answer.
(a) Trimethylamine, ethylmethylanime, n-propylamine
(b) Ethanol, dimethylamine, dimethyl ether
(c) Triphenylamine, N-methylanaline, ethylamine
ANSWERS
a. Trimethylamine(3.5oC)< ethylmethylamine(37oC) < n-propylamine (59oC)
b. Dimethyl ether (- 25oC) < dimethylamine (7 oC) < ethanol (78 oC)
c.

Basicity of Amines
Lone pair of electrons on nitrogen can
accept a proton from an acid.
Aqueous solutions are basic to litmus.
Ammonia pKb = 4.74
Alkyl amines are usually stronger bases
than ammonia.
Increasing the number of alkyl groups
decreases solvation of ion, so 2 and 3
amines are similar to 1 amines in basicity.

1. Salt Formation
Amines are bases and react with acid to form
alkylammonium salts
The salt formed is water soluble but insoluble in organic solvents
Can use to separate amines with other class of
functional groups
