Document Summary

Compounds with a central nitrogen that has three sigma bonds to either carbon or hydrogen. Derivatives of ammonia in which one or more of the protons has been replaced by alkyl or aryl groups. Amines are classified as primary, secondary, or tertiary, depending on the number of groups attached to the nitrogen atom. Naturally occurring amines isolated from plants are called alkaloids. If the nitrogen has a double bond to carbon, the compound is known as an imine i. f. Nitrogen bonded to a nitrogen via sigma bond is a hydrazine i. The nitrogen pair of an amine possesses a lone pair that represents a region of high electron density. The lone pair can function as a base or a nucleophile. A high pka indicates that the amine is strongly basic, while a low pka indicates that the amine is only weakly basic. Amines do nucleophilic substitution reactions without competition from.
