Spectroscopy of Amines - IR Characteristic N–H stretching absorptions 3300 to 3500 cm-1.
NH2 group shows an irregular doublet, NH - weak multiple bands. Ammonium ions show N-H at 2600 cm-1. Amine absorption bands are sharper and less intense than hydroxyl bands. 1o amines show NH2 deformation band at 1650-1590 cm-1.
C-N stretching vibrations are found at 1090-1068 cm-1 in 1o amines with a 1o carbon, 1140-1080 cm-1 with a 2o carbon, and at 1240-1170 cm-1 with a 3o carbon. 3o amines show no C-N vibrations. In aromatic amines, this band is at 1330-1260 cm-1.
N-H wagging bands are found at 850-750 cm-1 as strong, broad, multiple bands. These are weak in aromatic amines.

Mass Spectrometry Since N is a compound with an odd number of
nitrogen atoms has an odd-numbered molecular weight and a corresponding parent ion
Alkylamines cleave at the C–C bond nearest the nitrogen to yield an alkyl radical and a nitrogen-containing cation
5
Mass Spectrum of N-Ethylpropylamine The two modes of a cleavage give fragment ions at
m/z = 58 and m/z = 72.

1H - NMR Spectroscopy
N–H hydrogens appear as broad signals, either fully coupled to neighboring C–H hydrogens, or more frequently with no coupling (just like the H-bonded OH signals)
Hydrogens on C next to N and absorb at lower field than alkane hydrogens
N-CH3 gives a sharp three-H singlet at δ 2.2 to 2.6

Structure, Properties and Reactivity of Amines
Organic derivatives of ammonia, NH3 Nitrogen atom with a lone pair of electrons, making amines
both basic and nucleophilic Occur in plants and animals
15
IUPAC nomenclature of simple amines
For simple amines, the suffix -amine is added to the name of the alkyl substituent
The suffix -amine can also be used in place of the final -e in the name of the parent compound
16
Alkyl-substituted (alkylamines) or aryl-substituted (arylamines)
Classified: 1° (RNH2), methyl (CH3NH2), 2° (R2NH), 3° (R3N)
IUPAC nomenclature of simple amines
17
Consider the NH2 as an amino substituent on the parent molecule
IUPAC nomenclature of complex amines.Amines with more than one functional group.
18
IUPAC nomenclature of complex amines.
Amines with multiple alkyl groups.
Symmetrical secondary and tertiary amines are named by adding the prefix di- or tri- to the alkyl group
19
IUPAC nomenclature of complex amines.
Amines with multiple different alkyl groups.
Named as N-substituted primary amines Largest alkyl group is the parent name, and other
alkyl groups are considered N-substituents
20
Common Names Alkylamines do not have common names unless they are biological
molecules, such as putrycine (1,6-hexanediamine)or cadaverine (1,7-heptanediamine)
Simple arylamines have common names
21
Common Names of Heterocyclic Amines If the nitrogen atom occurs as part of a ring, the
compound is designated as being heterocyclic Each ring system has its own parent name
22
Quaternary Ammonium Ions A nitrogen atom with four attached groups is
positively charged Compounds are quaternary ammonium salts
23
Structure and Bonding in Amines
Bonding to N is similar to that in ammonia N is sp3-hybridized C–N–C bond angles are close to 109° tetrahedral
value
24
Basicity of Amines
The lone pair of electrons on nitrogen makes amines basic and nucleophilic
They react with acids to form acid–base salts and they react with electrophiles
Amines are stronger bases than alcohols, ethers, or water Amines establish an equilibrium with water in which the
amine becomes protonated and hydroxide is produced
25
Amines as Acids
Loss of the N–H proton requires a very strong base
26
Synthesis of Amines
Ammonia and other amines are good nucleophiles
SN2 Reactions of Alkyl Halides
27
Uncontrolled Multiple Alkylation are Unavoidable when Sterically Un-hindered Amines React
28
Reduction of nitriles and amides
29
Reduction Aryl Nitro Compounds Arylamines are prepared from nitration of an aromatic compound and
reduction of the nitro group Reduction by catalytic hydrogenation over platinum is suitable if no other
groups can be reduced Iron, zinc, tin, and tin(II) chloride are effective in acidic solution
30
Selective Preparation of Primary Amines:the Azide Synthesis
Azide ion, N3- displaces a halide ion from a primary or
secondary alkyl halide to give an alkyl azide, RN3 Alkyl azides are not nucleophilic (but they are explosive) Reduction gives the primary amine
31
Gabriel Synthesis of Primary Amines A phthalimide alkylation for preparing a primary amine from an alkyl
halide The N-H in imides (-CONHCO-) can be removed by KOH followed by
alkylation and hydrolysis
32
Hofmann and Curtius Rearrangements
Carboxylic acid derivatives can be converted into primary
amines with loss of one carbon atom by both the Hofmann
rearrangement and the Curtius rearrangement

Hofmann Rearrangement (Mechanism) Part II
Alkyl group (-R) migrates to the neighboring electron-deficient
nitrogen. Hydration of the resultant isocyanate gives
carboxamic acid.

Hofmann Rearrangement (Mechanism) Part III
Deprotonation-reprotonation produces a protonated
ammonium zwitterion (a good leaving group). It’s
elimination produces the amine and carbon dioxide by-product.

chloride This rearrangement also involves migration of R from C=O
to the neighboring electron-deficient nitrogen with simultaneous loss of a leaving group
37
Reactions of Amines
Acylation leads to amides (1o, 2o, or 3o.)
38
Hofmann Elimination Converts amines into alkenes NH2
- is very a poor leaving group so it converted to an alkylammonium ion, which is a good leaving group
39
Silver Oxide Is Used for the Elimination Step
Exchanges hydroxide ion for iodide ion in the quaternaryammonium salt, thus providing the base necessary to causeelimination
40
Orientation in Hofmann Elimination
We would expect that the more highly substituted alkene product predominates in the E2 reaction of an alkyl halide (Zaitsev's rule)
However, the less highly substituted alkene predominates in the Hofmann elimination due to the large size of the trialkylamine leaving group
The base must abstract a hydrogen from the most sterically accessible, least hindered position
41
Steric Effects Control the Orientation
