#1
Front (Question)

Aliphatic amine

Back (Answer)

Nitrogen atom is attached to at least one straight or branched carbon chain

#2
Front (Question)

Aromatic amine

Back (Answer)

Nitrogen atom is attached to an aromatic ring

#3
Front (Question)

Why do amines behave as bases?

Back (Answer)

Lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom can accept a proton

#4
Front (Question)

What happens when an amine accepts a proton?

Back (Answer)

A dative covalent bond is formed between the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom and the proton

#5
Front (Question)

How are primary amines formed?

Back (Answer)

Ammonia reacts with a haloalkane to form an ammonium salt Add aqueous alkali to generate the amine from the salt

#6
Front (Question)

Conditions for formation of primary amine

Back (Answer)

Ethanol is used as the solvent - prevents substitution of haloalkane by water to form alcohols Excess ammonia is used - reduces further substitution of the amine group to form secondary and tertiary amines

#7
Front (Question)

How are secondary and tertiary amines formed?

Back (Answer)

React primary amine with haloalkane Obtain secondary amine from salt by reacting with NaOH

#8
Front (Question)

Preparation of aromatic amines

Back (Answer)

Reduction of nitrobenzene Heated under reflux with Sn and HCl to form phenylammonium React with excess NaOH to produce phenylamine
