• Amines are further divided into aliphatic, aromatic, and heterocyclic amines: – aliphatic : an amine in which is bonded only to alkyl groups – : an amine in which nitrogen is bonded to one or more aryl groups

Organic Lecture Series Nomenclature

• Aliphatic amines: replace the suffix -eofe the parent alkane by -amine

NH2

NH2 H2 N NH2 2-Propanamine (S)-1-Phenyl- 1,6-Hexanediamine ethanamine

6 Organic Lecture Series Nomenclature

• The IUPAC system retains the name aniline:

NH2 NH2 NH2 NH2

OCH3 NO2 CH3 Aniline 4-Nitroaniline 4-Methylaniline 3-Methoxyaniline (p-Nitroaniline) (p-) (m-Anisidine)

discussed in the text, -NH2 is one of the lowest in order of precedence

OH OH H2 N H2 N COOH

NH2 2-Aminoethanol (S)-2-Amino-3-methyl- 4-Aminobenzoic acid 1-butanol

8 Organic Lecture Series Nomenclature

• Common names for most aliphatic amines are derived by listing the alkyl groups bonded to nitrogen in one word ending with the suffix -amine

H CH NH 3 2 NH2 N Et 3 N tert-Butylamine Dicyclopentylamine Triethylamine

9

Organic Lecture Series Nomenclature

• When four groups are bonded to nitrogen, the compound is named as a salt of the corresponding amine

- Cl + - + Me 4 N Cl NCH2 (CH2 )12CH3 - Ph CH2 NMe3 OH Tetramethy Tetradecylpyridinium chloride Benzyltrimethyl- (Cetylp yridin ium chloride) ammonium chloride hydroxide

10 Organic Lecture Series Physical Properties • Amines are polar compounds, and both 1° and 2° amines form intermolecular bonds – N-H- - -N hydrogen bonds are weaker than O- H- - -O hydrogen bonds because the difference in electronegativity between N and H (3.0 - 2.1 =0.9) is less than that between O and H (3.5 - 2.1 = 1.4)

12 Organic Lecture Series Basicity – it is common to discuss their basicity by reference to the acid ionization constant of the :
