Document Summary
Amines are derivatives of ammonia with aryl or acryl groups as the substituents to the parent nitrogen atom. It can be classified into three namely primary (1 ), secondary (2 ), and tertiary (3 ). Alkaloids are naturally occurring amine compounds found in plants. The lone pair on the nitrogen atom of an amine is a region of high electron density. It functions as a base or as a nucleophile. For amines containing simple alkyl groups, these compounds are generally named as alkyl amines. For amines containing a more complex alkyl groups, they are generally named as alkanamines. Steps in naming alkanamines: identify the parent. If another functional group is present, except halogens, the amino group is treated as the substituent: number the parent chain. Start from the side that is nearer to the more complex functional group: assign a locant for each substituent, name the substituents similar to the way the substituents of alkanes are named.
