Amine Nomenclature
Amines are named by added the suffix –amine, but in more l d h i b i b icomplex compounds, the amine can be an amino substituent
or an aniline derivative:

Complex compounds are treated as alkanamines with simpler alkyl groups on the amine identified with the locant “N”:alkyl groups on the amine identified with the locant N :

Amine Structure and Propertiesp
Alkyl amines have an sp3‐N with approximately tetrahedral Th N H i i i h d b digeometry. The N‐H groups participate in hydrogen bonding:
Small amines have a bad odor resembling fi h/d i t i lfish/decaying material:

Explaining Relative Basicity of Aminesp g yAmides are non‐basic and non‐nucleophilic due to resonance with the carbonyl:with the carbonyl:
Aryl amines are less basic than alkyl amines due to electron delocalization into the aromatic ring:

NMR Spectroscopy of AminesNMR Spectroscopy of Amines13C NMR:
• Carbons attached to amines are deshielded and are found between 30‐65 ppm.
1H NMR: • RNH: variable chemical shift (1.0‐4.0 ppm, broad singlet)• R2CHNH: deshielded and found in the 2.0‐3.0 ppm range

Alkyl Amine Reactivity: Hofmann EliminationAmines (like alcohols) can be eliminated to give alkenes. Just like H2O is a better leaving group than –OH the amide ion (–NH2)

H2O is a better leaving group than OH, the amide ion ( NH2) must be converted to a better LG for elimination to occur:
