Q

Are arylamines and heterocyclic amines or alkylamines more basic? Why?

A

Alkylamines are more basic b/c the nitrogen lone-pair electrons are delocalized by interation with the aromatic pi system and resonance stabilization is lost when protonated

Q

What are amines a result of?

12
Q

Are amines basic or nucleophilic? Why?

A

Both; due to the domination of the lone-pair electrons on nitrogen

larger the Kb; smaller the pKb= stronger the base; weak acid ~vice versa
larger the Ka; smaller the pKa= weaker the base; strong acid~ vice versa

Q

Saturated Heterocyclic Amines vs Unsaturated Heterocyclic Amines

A

Saturated have the same chemistry as their open-chain analogs
Unsaturated are aromatic; (ex. imidazole, pyridine, and pyrimidine)
Amides (ex. pyrrole) are nonbasic b/c all electrons are used in bonding
