Class XII 13.Amines [Organic Chemistry]
Introduction to Nitrogen Containing Compounds: “The chief commercial use of amines is as intermediates in the synthesis of dyes, synthetic fibres and
medicines.”
Functional groups containing nitrogen are present in a variety of naturally occurring as well as man-made
organic compounds.
These functional groups impart physicochemical characteristics to these molecules.
These groups are responsible for their unique chemical reactivity patterns and play crucial roles in the
preparation of drugs, agrochemicals, dyes and molecules of life.
There are many functional groups, which contain one or more nitrogen atoms.
Some categories of compounds based on these functional groups include nitro compounds, amines, cyanides,
isocyanides and diazo compounds.
The nitro compounds are easily obtained in the pure state. The nitro group influences the reactivity of
attached alkyl or aryl group and the functional groups present on them.
Acidic strength of phenols and reactivity of aryl halides towards nucleophilic substitution are enhanced if a
nitro group is present on their o/p positions.
In aliphatic nitro compounds, a carbanion can be generated easily and reactions performed to obtain various
products including ketones.
Amines, usually formed from nitro compounds, halides, ketones, amides, imides etc., exhibit hydrogen bonding
which influences their physical properties.
In alkyl amines, a combination of electron releasing, steric and H-bonding factors influence the stability of
their ammonium cations in protic polar media and thereby the basic nature of these amines.
In aromatic amines, electron releasing and withdrawing groups, respectively, increase and decrease their basic
character.
Amines are weak bases.
The reactions of amines are governed by the availability of the unshared pair of electrons on nitrogen and
proceed by initial attack of electrophiles and subsequent transformation to products.
The influence of the number of hydrogen at N, on the type of reactions and the nature of products is
responsible for distinguishing and separating primary, secondary and tertiary amines.
The amino and acetylamino groups enhance the reactivity of the aromatic ring towards electrophiles.
Organic cyanides are not unsafe to use and acetonitrile, the first member of the series, is a solvent of choice
for performing organic reactions.
They are usually obtained from halides, ketones, amides and diazonium salts and undergo reactions with
nucleophiles.
With Grignard reagent, they uniquely form ketones. At alpha carbon of nitriles, a carbanion is generated for
subsequent reactions with electrophiles.
Isocyanides are easily formed from halides or primary amines and undergo reactions at isocyanide carbon first
with an electrophile and then with a nucleophile.
Aryl diazonium salts, usually obtained from aromatic amines undergo replacement of the diazonium group with a
variety of nucleophiles to provide advantageous methods for forming aryl halides, cyanides, phenols and
reductive removal of amino group and thus constitute useful synthetic reagents. Coupling reactions of aryl
diazonium salts with phenols or amines form an important class of dyes.
Physical Properties Lower members of amines are gases, most of the higher members are liquids while some aromatic amines are solids.
Majority of amines have unpleasant odour.
Aromatic amines, in general, are toxic.
Most of the amines when pure are colourless but as they are easily oxidized, they get coloured due to impurities.
Amines are polar compounds and have higher boiling points than non-polar compounds such as hydrocarbons of
the same molecular mass.
All amines can form hydrogen bonds as proton acceptors, but only primary and secondary amines can donate
proton in hydrogen bonding.
Thus, primary and secondary amines, because of intermolecular hydrogen bonding, have higher boiling points
than tertiary amines.
All the three classes of amines can form hydrogen bonds with water.
Amines of low molecular mass are soluble in water but as the hydrophobic part of the amine possess more than
six carbons, their solubility in water decreases and still larger amines are essentially insoluble in water.
Because of their weaker hydrogen bonds, the solubility of amines in water is less than that of alcohols.
Amines are soluble in organic solvents like ether, benzene, alcohol, etc.
Basic Character of Amines: All classes of amines contain nitrogen atoms that bear unshared pair of electrons. The tendency of nitrogen to
share these electrons with acids is responsible for the basic character of amines which is affected by the
number and the nature of their alkyl or aryl groups.
Like ammonia, amines are strong bases and react with mineral acids to form ammonium salts from which they
can be liberated by treatment with a strong base (such as sodium hydroxide).
For comparison of the basic character of amines, the equilibrium constant of following reaction is taken as a
measure of their basic character:
;
Since [H2O] is constant, it is convenient to incorporate it into the equilibrium constant, thereby giving the
above expression for the basicity constant Kb.
All classes of aliphatic amines (Kb of about 10–3 to 10–4) are somewhat stronger bases than ammonia (Kb,1.8 × 10–5).
Aromatic amines are weaker bases (Kb~10–9) and substituents on their aromatic ring have a marked affect on
their basicity as p-Nitroaniline is only 1/4000 as basic as aniline.
Structure -Basicity Relationship of Amines:
The basic character of an amine depends on the ease of formation of its ammonium cation by accepting a
proton and is thus directly related to the stability of this cation.
So, for understanding basic character of amines in relation to their alkyl/aryl groups, we have to compare the
stabilities of the amines with the stabilities of the cations they form after protonation.
In aliphatic amines, the electron-releasing alkyl groups stabilise their ammonium cations by dispersing the
positive charge, and in parent amine make the nitrogen unshared electrons more available for sharing with a
proton.
Thus, the basic character of aliphatic amines should increase with increase of alkyl substitution. But it does not
occur in a regular manner as a secondary aliphatic amine is unexpectedly more basic than a tertiary amine in
solutions.
Basicity Order: (ET)2NH > Et2N > EtNH2 > NH3;
(Me)2 NH > MeNH2 > (Me)3N > NH3
Indeed, in gas phase, where the solvent effect is missing, the basic trend in nature is as expected i.e.
Tertiary amine > secondary amine > primary amine > ammonia.
In solution, ammonium cations are stabilized not only by electron -releasing effect of the alkyl groups but also
by solvation through their hydrogen bond with the solvent. It is evident that due to the number of hydrogen
atoms present on the nitrogen and thereby similar number of hydrogen bonds, the stability of aliphatic
ammonium cations and also the basic strength will be in the order:
Primary > secondary > tertiary,
which is opposite to the alkyl group electron-releasing effect based basic strength order. There could also be
some steric repulsion to H-bonding in cations derived from tertiary amines.
In view of these considerations, it may be concluded that it is a combination of electron-releasing, H-
bonding and steric factors that determine the stability of the ammonium cations in solution and thereby
resulting in the basic strength order of aliphatic amines as
Secondary > tertiary > primary amines.
Aromatic amines are weaker bases than ammonia and aliphatic amines.
For a structural explanation of this property, we should realize that an additional feature in the structures of
aromatic systems is their resonance stabilization.
The structure of aniline is a hybrid of five contributing species because of the conjugation of unshared
electron pair with the aromatic ring, whereas we can write only two Kekule structures for anilinium cation.
Since resonance stabilizes an aromatic amine more than it stabilizes its ammonium cation, the proton
acceptability and thereby basic strength of aromatic amines would be less.
It may also be argued that due to resonance, unshared electrons on nitrogen in aromatic amines are less
available for sharing with a proton– a feature opposite to that in alkyl amines.
An electron releasing group present in an aromatic amine ring especially in o/p position, stabilises the ammonium
cation formed after protonation of amine and hence increases the basic strength of aromatic amine.
An electronwithdrawing group adversely affects the stability of an aromatic ammonium cation and decreases
the basic strength of parent aromatic amine.
The electron releasing and withdrawing groups will also, respectively, enhance and decrease the availability of
unshared electrons on nitrogen and thereby basic strength of aromatic amines.
Separation of Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Amines The mixture of amines is reacted with benzene sulphonyl chloride and the product mixture obtained is treated
with aq. HCl and filtered.
The filtrate which contains tertiary amine as its hydrochloride is isolated as amine by additon of base.
The acid insoluble residue is treated with aq. KOH solution and filtered.
The filtrate on acidification gives the sulphonamide of primary amine which is isolated after hydrolysis.
The sulphonamide insoluble in alkali, is hydrolysed to get secondary amine.
SOME COMMERCIALLY IMPORTANT COMPOUNDS The chief commercial use of amines is as intermediates in the synthesis of dyes and synthetic fibres.
These are also used as medicines due to their physiological and psychological effects.
o Aniline: It is one of the most important of all the amines. It is manufactured by the reduction of nitrobenzene
using; iron-filings and hydrochloric acid, and catalytic hydrogenation.
;
Catalytic hydrogenation of nitro group takes place smoothly with hydrogen gas in presence of finely divided
nickel or platinum as catalyst.
N, N-Dimethylaniline (DMA): It is used as a raw material in the preparation of a number of azo dyes, for
example, methyl orange, crystal violet-malachite green, etc. It couples readily to give p-azo derivatives. DMA is
prepared by methylation of aniline with bromomethane
1,6-Hexamethylenediamine: It is used as a raw material in the production of nylone-66
Novocaine: It is also called procaine and is used as a local anaesthetic. It was developed in 1905 and contains a
primary and a tertiary amino groups.
A number of N containing compounds which act as bases occur in nature. These are known as alkaloids. In these
compounds, nitrogen may be present in the form of primary, secondary and tertiary amino group. Most of the
alkaloids produce striking physiological effect. Caffeine–a central nervous system stimulant, occurs in tea
leaves, coffee bean and cola nut, nicotine (present in tobacco plant), atropine (present in Atropa belladonna)
and cocaine (present in Erythroxylum coca) are some examples of alkaloids. In small doses, nicotine acts as a
stimulant, but in larger doses, it causes depression, nausea and vomitting. Atropine is an intense poison. In
0.5 - 1.0% concentration, it is used to dilate the pupil of the eye in ophthalmic examinations. In small doses,
cocaine decreases fatigue and increases mental activity. Prolonged use of cocaine leads to physical addiction
and to periods of deep depression.
A large number of medically and biologically important compounds are amines. A few examples are given as
follows:
Adrenaline, a hormone, is released into the blood stream when an animal senses danger. It causes an increase in
blood pressure and a widening of passages of the lungs. All these effects prepare the animal to fight or to flee.
Amphetamine is a powerful stimulant.
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter in the brain. Abnormalities in the level of dopamine cause many psychological
disorders. Dopamine also plays an important role in regulation and control of movement, motivation and cognition.
Two important nitrogen containing explosives are trinitrotoluene(TNT) and glyceryl trinitrate.
Trinitrotoluene(TNT) is prepared by treating toluene with a mixture of nitric and sulphuric acids.
Glyceryl trinitrate is an explosive component of dynamite which is prepared by treating glycerol with
concentrated nitric acid.
Hinsberg’s Test
The Hinsberg reaction is a chemical test for the detection of amines. It is an excellent test for distinguishing
primary,secondary and tertiary amines. In this test, the amine is shaken well with Hinsberg reagent in the
presence of aqueous alkali (either KOH or NaOH). A reagent containing an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and
benzenesulfonyl chloride is added to a substrate. A primary amine will form a soluble sulfonamide salt which
precipitates after addition of diluted hydrochloric acid. A secondary amine in the same reaction will directly form
an insoluble sulfonamide. A tertiary amine will not react with the sulfonamide but is insoluble. After adding dilute
acid this insoluble amine is converted to a soluble ammonium salt. In this way the reaction can distinguish between
the three types of amine. The Hinsberg reaction was first described by Oscar Hinsberg in 1890 .
The Carbylamine reaction
The Carbylamine reaction is a chemical test for detection of primary amines. In this reaction, the analyte is heated
with alcoholic potassium hydroxide and chloroform. If a primary amine is present, the isocyanide is formed.
The carbylamine test does not give a positive reaction with secondary and tertiary amines.
Nitrous Acid Test
Procedure: : Dissolve 0.5 mL or 0.5 g of unknown in 1.5 mL of conc. HCl diluted with 2.5 mL of water, and cool the
solution to 0oC in a beaker of ice. Dissolve 0.5 g of sodium nitrite in 2.5 mL of water and add this solution dropwise,
with shaking, to the cold solution of the amine hydrochloride. Continue the addition until the mixture gives a positive
test for nitrous acid. The test is carried out by placing a drop of the solution on starch-iodide paper; a blue color
indicates the presence of nitrous acid. If the test is positive, move 2 mL of the solution to another test tube, warm
gently, and examine for evolution of gas.
Positive Test
1o aromatic amines- rapid bubbling after addition of sodium nitrite (with heating) is a positive test.
2o amines- pale yellow oil with no evolution of gas is a positive test.
3o aliphatic amines- immediate positive test for nitrous acid with no evolution of gas is a positive test.
3o aromatic amines- dark-orange solution or orange solid, when treated with base turns green is a positive test.
An azo coupling
An azo coupling is an organic reaction between a diazonium compound and another aromatic compound that produces
an azo compound. In this electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction, the aryldiazonium cation is the electrophile
and the activated arene is a nucleophile. In most cases, including the examples below, the diazonium compound is also
aromatic.
Uses of the reaction:The product will absorb longer wavelengths of light (specifically they absorb in the visible
region) than the reactants because of increased conjugation. Consequently, aromatic azo compounds tend to be
brightly colored due to the extended conjugated systems. Many are used as dyes. Important azo dyes include
methyl red and pigment red.
