1. Amines

⑴ Overview

① Definition: Derivatives of NH3

② Nomenclature

○ Add “amine” after the corresponding alkane carbon number

○ For 2nd and 3rd amines, substitute groups attached to other nitrogen atoms are named with N - prefixed

○ Amine substituents are denoted by “amino-“

③ Boiling Point

○ Hydrogen bonding is possible between primary and secondary amines

○ Boiling and melting points of tertiary amines are lower than those of primary or secondary amines: Tertiary amines cannot form intramolecular hydrogen bonds themselves

○ Boiling points of amines are relatively lower compared to alcohols with similar molecular weight: Due to lower electronegativity of nitrogen

○ Boiling point of trimethylamine > boiling point of triethylamine: Alkyl groups hinder intermolecular forces

○ Boiling point of triethylamine < boiling point of triethylphosphine: Polarizability is more important than electronegativity

④ Acidity

○ Comparison of amine basicity in the gaseous state: Tertiary > Secondary > Primary amines (Due to the electron-donating alkyl groups enhancing amine’s basicity)

○ Comparison of amine basicity in aqueous solutions: Secondary > Tertiary > Primary amines (Considering stabilizing effects from solvents)

○ pK_a of alkyl amine conjugate acids is around 10-11

○ pK_a of aryl amine conjugate acids is around 4-5

○ Basicity of aryl amines

○ Basicity of heterocyclic amines

⑥ Hinsberg test: Reaction with sulfonyl chlorides

⑦ Hofmann Elimination Reaction: Converts amines to alkenes

Figure 6. Hofmann elimination reaction of amines

○ (Formula 1) Conversion of amine to a good leaving group, i.e. trimethylamine, using 1. excess CH₃I, base, 2. Ag₂O, H₂O, Δ conditions, followed by elimination reaction.

○ (Formula 2) Formation of alkene with smaller substituents

○ Zaitsev’s rule: Highly substituted alkenes are major products in elimination reactions due to alkene stability

○ Hofmann’s rule: Less substituted alkenes are major products in elimination reactions due to steric effects

○ Hofmann Elimination Reaction: When the substituent is a quaternary ammonium or tertiary sulfonium ion, the Hofmann product is the major product upon elimination

⑦ Cope Elimination Reaction

○ Hofmann Elimination Reaction is based on the E2 elimination reaction. Hofmann Elimination Reaction is based on the E2 elimination reaction. It proceeds through a stereospecific anti-periplanar mechanism.

○ Cope Elimination Reaction involves a pentagonal transition state

○ Treatment of tertiary amines with peroxides results in syn elimination of amine and formation of amine oxide
