POINTS TO
1. Introduction
Alkyl or aryl derivatives of ammonia are regarded as amines. These are obtained by replacing one or more
hydrogen atoms by alkyl or aryl groups. Amines are classified as primary, secondary or tertiary depending
‘upon whether one, two or three atoms of hydrogen have been replaced by alkyl or aryl groups.

5S. Physical Properties
(0 The lower members are combustible gases, members from C; to Cy are volatile liquids and from Cy
‘onwards are solids. Lower aromatic amines are liquids while the higher ones are low melting solids.
(ii) Pure amines are almost colourless but develop colour on keeping in air for long time, especially, the
‘aromatic amines. The colouration is due to oxidation of amines by air.
(iii) The boiling point increases with the increase in molecular weight. However, primary and secondary
‘amines have higher boiling points than the tertiary amines of the same molecular weight. This is again
due to the possibility of intermolecular hydrogen bonding between molecules of primary as well as
secondary amines.
Amines 405
© scanned with OKEN Scanner‘The hydrogen bonding between amine molecules is weaker than that between alcohols or carboxylic
acids therefore amines have lower boiling points than the alcohols or carboxylic acids of comparable
molecular masses.
(iv) The lower members are readily soluble in water, the solubility in water decreases and in organic
solvents (alcoho! and ether) inereases with the increase in molecular weight.
‘Solubility of all the three classes of aliphatic amines in water is due to the formation of hydrogen bond
between amine and water molecules. However, in higher amines, the alkyl group predominates over
the amino group with the result that they have less tendency for forming hydrogen bond with water.
‘This explains why the higher amines are insoluble in water.
Aromatic amines are insoluble in water. This is because of the larger hydrocarbon part. Thus, aniline
is almost insoluble in water. However, all amines are quite soluble in organic solvents like benzene,
ether, alcohol, etc.
6. Basie Character of Amines: Amines have a lone pair of electrons on nitrogen atom due to which they
behave as Lewis base. Basic character of amines can be better understood in terms of K, and pX;, values as
explained below.

RNA]
PK, =—log Ky
Larger the value of K, or smaller the value of pK, stronger is the base.
(a) Amines versus alcohols, ethers and esters: Since nitrogen is less electronegative than oxygen, it is in
a better position to accommodate the positive charge of the proton, Therefore, amines are more basi
than alcohols, ethers, esters, etc.
(b) Alkylamines versus ammonia: In aliphatic amines, the electron-releasing alkyl groups stabilise
their ammonium cations by dispersing the positive charge, and in parent amines make the nitrogen
unshared electrons more available for sharing with a proton, Thus, the basic character of aliphatic
‘amines should increase with the 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),NH > Et,N > EtNH, > NHy; (Me)sNH > MeNH, > (Me),N > NH,
In gas phase, where the solvent effect is missing. the basic trend in nature is as expected,
ie. tertiary amine > secondary amine > primary amine > ammonia.
Anomalous basic strength of tert-alkylamines: In aqueous solution, the substituted ammonium
cations are stabilised not only by electron-releasing effect of the alkyl groups but also by solvation
with water molecules. It is a combination of electron-releasing alkyl groups, 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 versus ammonia and aliphatic amines: Aromatic amines are weaker bases than
ammonia and aliphatic amines. Since resonance stabilises an aromatic amine more than it stabilises 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.

(@ Electron-donating groups such as —CH,, —OCH, -NH,, etc., increase the basicity while
electron-withdrawing substituents such as —NO;,—CN, halogens, etc., decrease the basicity of
amines. The effect of these substituents is more at p- than at m-positions..

(6) Stability of diazonium salts:
Arenediazonium salts are much more stable than alkyl diazonium salts. The stability of arene
diazonium salt is due to the dispersal of the positive charge over the benzene ring as shown below.

() Reactions involving retention of diazo group:
Coupling reaction: The reaction of diazonium salts with phenols and aromatic amines to form azo
compounds of the general formula, Ar—N=N—Ar is called coupling reaction. The mechanism is
basically that of electrophilic substitution where the diazonium ion is electrophile. In this reaction, the
gen atoms of the diaz0 group are retained in the product. The coupling with phenols takes place ©
in mildly alkaline medium while with amines, it occurs under faintly acidic conditions. For example,

Account for the following:
( pK, of aniline is more than that of methylamine.
(ii) Ethylamine is soluble in water, whereas aniline is not.
(ii) Methylamine in water reacts with ferric chloride to precipitate hydrated ferric oxide,
(iv) Although amino group is o- and p-directing in aromatic electrophilic substitution reactions,
aniline on nitration gives a substantial amount of m-nitroaniline.
(») Aniline does not undergo Friedel-Crafts reaction. (CBSE 2020 (56/5/1)]
(vi) Diazonium salts of aromatic amines are more stable than those of aliphatic amines.
(vii) Gabriel phthalimide synthesis is preferred for synthesising primary amines.
‘Ans. (i) Inaniline due to resonance, the lone pair of electrons on the N-atom are delocalised over the benzene
ring, Due to this, electeon density on the nitrogen decreases. On the other hand, in CHNHs, +I-effect
of CH, increases the electron density on the N-atom. Consequently aniline is a weaker base than
‘methylamine and hence its pX, value is higher than that of methylamine.

(iv) Nitration is usually carried out with a mixture of conc. HNO, and cone. H3SO,. In presence of these
i, most of aniline gets protonated to form anilinium ion. Thus, in presence of acids, the reaction

of the positive charge on the benzene ring as shown below:
(vii) Gabriel phthalimide reaction gives pure primary amines without any contamination of secondary and
tertiary amines. Therefore, itis preferred for synthesising primary amines.

‘Aryl halides do not undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions easily because the carbon-halogen bond
acquires partial double bond character due to resonance, therefore aromatic primary amines cannot be

Aliphatic primary amines also react with HNO, at 273-278 K to form aliphatic diazonium salts. But these

Give plausible explanation for each of the following:
(i) Why are amines less acidic than alcohols of comparable molecular masses?
Gi) Why do primary amines have higher boiling point than tertiary amines?
ii) Why are aliphatic amines stronger bases than aromatic amines? [CBSE 2020 (S6/S/1)]
(@ Loss of a proton from an amine gives amide ion while loss of a proton from alcohol gives an alkoxide
ion as shown below:
R—NH; —~ R—NH™ + H*
Amine ‘Amide ion
R—O—H —~ R—O"+ H*
‘Also ‘Aoi fon
‘As O is more electronegative than N, RO™ can accommodate the negative charge more easily than the
RNH™ can accommodate the negative charge.
RO™ is more stable than RNH™. Therefore, amines are less acidic than alcohols.
(ii) In primary amines, two hydrogen atoms are present on N-atom and they undergo extensive
intermolecular hydrogen bonding which results in association of molecules while in tertiary amines,
424 Xam idea Chemistry-XIl
© scanned with OKEN Scannerno hydrogen atom is present on N-atom. Hence there is no hydrogen bonding in tertiary amines. As a
result of this primary amines have higher boiling point than tertiary amines.
(iii) Aliphatic amines are stronger bases than aromatic amines because:
(a) due to resonance in aromatic amines, the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom gets
delocalised over the benzene ring and thus is less easily available for protonation.
(b) the aryl amine ions have lower stability than the corresponding alkyl amines, i.e., protonation of
aromatic amines is not favoured.
