WHAT ARE

AMINES?
Amines are organic derivatives of ammnonia
(NH3).

It is composed of one or more alkyl or aryl


groups which replaced the hydrogen atoms in
WHAT ARE ammonia (NH3) molecule.
AMINES?
Amines are classified as primary (1), secondary
(2) and tertiary (3). Depending on the number
of hydrogen atoms of ammonia that are
replaced by alkyl or aryl groups.

 Primary amines are


amines containing one

containing two alkyl or aryl AMINE
groups attached to the nitrogen
atom.

TERTIARY AMINES

 Tertiary amines are amines TERTIARY AMINE
containing three alkyl or aryl
group attached to the nitrogen
atom.

TRIMETHYLAMINE
Aliphatic amine in which nitrogen is bonded only to
alkyl (R) groups.

 Aromatic amine are the derivatives of benzene in which a


hydrogen atom of the ring has been replaced by an amino
AROMATIC group (-NH2).

AMINES AND Like aliphatic amines, aromatic amines are also classified into three
classes i.e. Primary amines (ArNH2), Secondary amines (ArNHR),
ALIPHATIC and Tertiary amines (ArNR2)

AMINES
An amine in which the nitrogen atom is part of a
ring is classified as a heterocyclic amine. When
the nitrogen is part of an aromatic ring (Section
9.2), the amine is classified as a heterocyclic
aromatic amine.

HOW ARE AMINES NAMED?

Systematic names for


aliphatic amines are
derived just as they are
A. SYSTEMATIC for alcohols. The suffix-
NAMES e of the parent alkane is
dropped and is replaced
by –amine that is, they
are named alkanamines.

 Common names for most aliphatic amines are derived by
listing the alkyl groups bonded to nitrogen in alphabetical
COMMON order in one word ending in the suffix – amine, that is, they
