Amines Flashcards

1
Q

Why does further substitution happen when you produce amines from halogenoalkanes

A

The N atom has a lone pair of electrons = act as a Nucleophile

Further substitution happens with halogenoalkanes leading to 2• + 3• amines

Q

Why is excess ammonia used when producing amines from halogenoalkanes

Q

Are amines more or less basic than ammonia

A

Stronger bases
The alkyl group (eg: CH3) increases the electron density on the Nitrogen as they are electron releasing = can accept H+ easier

Q

Compared to ammonia how basic are aromatic amines

A

Weaker bases
Lone pair of electrons on nitrogen atom delocalises into ring of delocalised pi electrons = decreases electron density on N atom = lone pair is less available to form dative bond with H+ ion

Q

What are amines

A

Thought of as NH3 but the hydrogens can be replaced by alkyl of Aryl(benzene) groups to produce primary - tertiary amines

Q

Conditions for producing amines from halogenoalkanes

A

Heat Halogenoalkane + Excess Ammonia in ethanol + under pressure in sealed container

CH3Br + NH3 = CH3NH2 + NH4Br

  • due to basic properties of NH3 it accepts eliminated hydrogen
  • HBr

Q

Why might producing amines from nitriles be preferable to halogenoalkanes

A

Lone pair on Nitrogen can keep substituting with halogenoalkanes = 2• + 3• amines

Reducing nitriles only produces 1 no chance of substitution due to nothing to substitute with the Amine

Q

Why can Phenylamine react with acid to produce salts

A

Lone pair on Nitrogen makes Phenylamine basic = accepts H+ to make it charged = can ironically bond to form salts eg: NH3(+)Cl(-)

Q

What type of salts are produced from Acid + Phenylamine

A

Phenylammonium salts
C6H5NH3+

It’s positively charged so can ironically bond to form salts

16
Q

What can be added to Phenylammonium salts to turn back to Phenylamine
- You should do this most times when forming Phenylamine from Nitrobenzene as the HCl used will react with it

A

NaOH - takes away the H+ due to being basic = takes away charge

C6H5NH3+ (+) NaOH = C6H5NH2 + H20

17
Q

Are amines soluable in water

A

Yes
They can form hydrogen bonds

Also = can react with water acting as base to form alkaline solution

CH3NH2 + H2O = CH3NH3+ (+) OH-

18
Q

Put primary amines,ammonia and aromatic amines in order of basicity strength

A

1- primary amines = alkyl groups are electron releasing = increase electron density on Nitrogen = lone pair more available to bond with H+

2- Ammonia

3- Aromatic Amines = lone pair on Nitrogen delocalises into Pi trim ring in Benzene = decrease electron density on Nitrogen = Lone pair less available to bond to H+

19
Q

Are tertiary amines stronger or weaker bases than primary and explain

A

Tertiary amines are stronger = more alkyl/electron releasing groups

20
Q

Does base strength on amines increase as carbon Alkyk chain increase

A

As length increase = base strength increase = increased electron releasing effect

21
Q

How do amines react with Copper Hexaquaions (2+))

A

Same as ammonia - first in acid base then in excess ligand exchange

1- [Cu(H2O)4(OH)2]

2- [Cu(H2O)2(amine)4]

22
Q

What does a N mean when in a molecule name
Eg N-Ethyl Propylamine

A

Shows that group is attached to the Nitrogen

23
Q

If substitution continues to happen between Halogenoalkane + Amine what could be produced

A

Quaternary Ion Salts

24
Q

What do primary, secondary and tertiary amides look like

A
25
Q

2 ways to make Amides

A

1- Acyl Chloride + Ammonia

2- Acyl Chloride + primary Amines

26
Q

What is produced when acyl chlorides react with ammonia

A

Acyl chloride + Ammonia = Amide + HCl

27
Q

What is produced when acyl chlorides react with primary amines

A
