1 Chapter 15 Amines Amines

2 Structure & Classification Amines are classified as 1°, 2°, or 3° depending on the number of carbon groups bonded to nitrogen

3 Structure & Classification heterocyclic amine: heterocyclic amine: an amine in which the nitrogen atom is part of a ring

4 Nomenclature IUPAC names Similar to alcohols -amine drop the final -e of the parent alkane and replace it by -amine use a number to locate the amino group on the parent chain

5 Nomenclature IUPAC names (cont’d) IUPAC nomenclature retains the common name aniline for C 6 H 5 NH 2, the simplest aromatic amine use numbers to locate substituents or, alternatively, use the prefixes ortho (o), meta (m), and para (p) common names are still widely used

6 Nomenclature IUPAC names (cont’d) name unsymmetrical secondary and tertiary amines as N-substituted primary amines take the largest group bonded to nitrogen as the parent amine smaller group(s) are substituents indicated by using the prefix N

7 Nomenclature Common names amine for most aliphatic amines, list the groups bonded to nitrogen in alphabetical order in one word ending in the suffix -amine

8 Nomenclature Amine salts when four things are bonded to a nitrogen atom, the nitrogen bears a positive charge name the compound as a salt -amine -ammonium replace the ending -amine (or aniline or pyridine or the like) by -ammonium (or anilinium or pyridinium or the like) and add the name of the anion

9 Physical Properties Like ammonia, low-molecular-weight amines have very sharp, penetrating odors trimethylamine, for example, is the pungent principle in the smell of rotting fish two other particularly pungent amines are 1,4-butanediamine (putrescine) and 1,5- pentanediamine (cadaverine)

10 Physical Properties Amines are polar compounds both 1° and 2° amines have N-H bonds, and can form hydrogen bonds with one another

11 Physical Properties an N-H---N hydrogen bond is weaker than an O-H---O hydrogen bond compare the boiling points of ethane, methanamine, and methanol

12 Physical Properties all classes of amines form hydrogen bonds with water and are more soluble in water than are hydrocarbons of comparable molecular weight most low-molecular-weight amines are completely soluble in water higher-molecular-weight amines are only moderately soluble in water or are insoluble

13 Basicity of Amines Like ammonia, amines are weak bases, and aqueous solutions of amines are basic the acid-base reaction between an amine and water involves transfer of a proton from water to the amine

14 Basicity of Amines The base dissociation constant, K b, for the reaction of an amine with water has the following form, illustrated for the reaction of methylamine with water to give methylammonium hydroxide pK b is defined as the negative logarithm of K b

15 Basicity of Amines aliphatic amines SS bases than NH 3 aromatic amines are weaker bases

16 Basicity of Amines We can determine which form of an amine exists in body fluids, pH 7.40 if an aliphatic amine is dissolved in blood, it is present predominantly as its protonated (conjugated acid) form

17 Reactions of Amines The most important chemical property of amines is their basicity amines, whether soluble or insoluble in water, react quantitatively with strong acids to form water-soluble salts

18 Reactions of Amines example: example: complete each acid-base reaction and name the salt formed

19 Reactions of Amines example: example: complete each acid-base reaction and name the salt formed solution: solution:

20 Nucleophylic Substitution SN 2 Displacement of a Leaving Group LG = Weak base LG attached to “small” tetrahedral C Nucleophile Lone pair and neutral Negatively charged Other (Later)

21 Synthesis of Amines 1) Alkyl halides react with ammonia to make primary amines – SN 2 This can lead to multiple amination products Example

22 Reduction Non-polar Reduction H 2 plus metal catalysts (Pt, Pd, Ni, Zn, etc) Polar Reduction H - source LiAlH 4 or NaBH 4 ) Biochem NaDH or NaDPH 2

23 Cyanide SN 2 and Reduction 2) Alkyl halides may be reacted with cyanide and then hydrogenated to form the primary amine exclusively.

24 Reactions of Amines 3) Aldehydes and ketones can condense with primary amines and then be hydrogenated to for secondary amines

25 Ketone to Amine - Biochem Biological Application

26 Transamination - Biochem Amine Transfer

27 End Chapter 15 Amines
