Top Questions on Amines
- How can you obtain the following?
(a) Aniline from ammonium benzoate
(b) Benzene diazonium chloride from nitrobenzene
(c) 2,4,6-Tribromoaniline from aniline - Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of their boiling point:
\[ \text{(CH}_3\text{)}_2\text{NH, CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{NH}_2, \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{OH} \] Amines are usually formed from amides, imides, halides, nitro compounds, etc. They 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 the substituted ammonium cations in protic polar solvents and thus affect the basic nature of amines. Alkyl amines are found to be stronger bases than ammonia. Amines being basic in nature, react with acids to form salts. Aryldiazonium salts, undergo replacement of the diazonium group with a variety of nucleophiles to produce aryl halides, cyanides, phenols and arenes.
How can you convert the following:
(i) Ethanoic acid to methanamineWhich of the following amine(s) show(s) positive carbamylamine test?
- Identify correct statements: (A) Primary amines do not give diazonium salts when treated with \({NaNO}_2\) in acidic condition.
(B) Aliphatic and aromatic primary amines on heating with \({CHCl}_3\) and ethanolic \({KOH}\) form carbylamines.
(C) Secondary and tertiary amines also give carbylamine test.
(D) Benzenesulfonyl chloride is known as Hinsberg’s reagent.
(E) Tertiary amines react with benzenesulfonyl chloride very easily.

Structure of Amines
The structure of Amines is shown below:
Alkyl Amines:
Alkylamines consist of tetrahedral nitrogen centers where the C-N-H and C-N-C bond angle is 109°. The distance between C-N bonds is smaller in comparison to the C-C range. The amines can also display a chiral property wherein the center of the nitrogen atom holds for replacements which creates solo pairs.
The bond angle in the case of trimethylamine is 108° which results in the Pyramidal structure of trimethylamine-
Aromatic Amine:
Due to the mixture of the solo pair with the aryl substituent, nitrogen nearly has a planar structure in aromatic amines. The C-N range is very short. In aniline, the distance between C-N bonds is similar to the distance between C-C bonds.
