The alkyl group tends to increase the electron density on the nitrogen atom. As a result, amines can donate the lone f pair of electrons on nitrogen more easily than ammonia. Hence, aliphatic amines are stronger bases than ammonia.

3. Answer the following

Question i.
Identify A and B in the following reactions.

Answer:

Question ii.
Explain the basic nature of amines with suitable example.
Answer:
The basic strength of amines is expressed in terms of K_b or _pK_b value. According to Lowry-Bron-sted theory the basic nature of amines is explained by the following equilibrium equation.

In this equilibrium amine accepts H⁺, hence an amine is a Lowry-Bronsted base.

According to Lewis theory, the species which donates a pair of electrons is called a base.

The nitrogen atom in amiqes has a lone pair of electrons, which can be donated to suitable acceptor like proton H⁺.

The aqueous solutions of amines are basic in nature due to release of free OH^– ions in solutions. Hence amines are Lewis bases. There exists an equilibrium in their aqueous solutions as follows :

R – NH₂ + H₂O ⇌ RNH₃ + OH^–

Since OH^– is a stronger base, equilibrium shifts towards left-hand side giving less concentration of OH^–.

Here, K_b value is smaller and _pK_b value is larger.

Hence amines are weak bases.

Question iii.
What is diazotisation? Write diazotisation reaction of aniline.

Aryl amines react with nitrous acid in cold condition (273 – 278 K) forms arene diazonium salts. The conversion of primary aromatic amine into diazonium salts is called diazotisation.

Question vii.
Explain carbylamine reaction with suitable examples.
Answer:
Aliphatic or aromatic primary amines on heating with chloroform and alcoholic potassium hydroxide solution form carbyl amines or isocyanides with extremely unpleasant smell. This reaction is a test for primary amines.

Secondary and tertiary amines do not give this test.

(b)

Question x.
Explain Ammonolysis of alkyl halides.
Answer:
When an alkyl halide is heated with alcoholic ammonia in a sealed tube under pressure at 373 K, a mixture of primary, secondary, tertiary amines and a quaternary ammonium salt is obtained. In this reaction, breaking of C – X bond by ammonia is called ammonolysis of alkyl halides. The reaction is also known as alkylation. For example, when methyl bromide is heated with alcoholic ammonia at 373 K, it gives a mixture of methylamine (a primary amine), dimethylamine (a secondary amine), trimethyl amine (a tertiary amine) and tetramethylam- monium bromide (a quaternary ammonium salt).

The order of reactivity of alkyl halides with ammonia is R – I > R – Br > R – Cl.

Answer:

4. Answer the following.

Question i.
Write the IUPAC names of the following amines :

Answer:

Question ii.
What are amines? How are they classified?
Answer:
Amines are classified on the basis of the number of hydrogen atoms of ammonia that are replaced by alkyl group. Amines are classified as primary (1°), secondary (2°) and tertiary (3°).

(1) Primary amines (1° amines) : The amines in which only one hydrogen atom of ammonia is replaced by an alkyl group or aryl group are called primary (1°) amines.

Examples :
(i) CH₃ – NH₂ methylamine
(ii) CH₃ – CH₂ – NH₂ ethylamine

(2) Secondary amines (2° amines) : The amines in which two hydrogen atoms of ammonia are replaced by two, same or different alkyl or aryl groups are called secondary (2°) amines.

Examples :
(i) C₂H₅ – NH – CH₃ ethylmethylamine
(ii) CH₃ – NH – CH₃ dimethylamine

(3) Tertiary amines (3° amines) : The amines in which all the three hydrogen atoms of ammonia are replaced by three same or different alkyl or aryl groups are called tertiary (3°) amines.

Examples :

Secondary and tertiary amines are further classified as (1) Simple or symmetrical amines (2) Mixed or unsymmetrical amines.

(i) Simple or symmetrical amines : In simple amines same alkyl groups are attached to the nitrogen e.g.

(ii) Mixed or unsymmetrical amines : In mixed amines different alkyl groups are attached to the nitrogen.

Question iii.

b. Nitroethane
c. Propionamide
Answer:
a. Ethanamine from acetonitrile :

b. Ethanamine from nitroethane :

c. Ethanamine from Propionamide :

Question v.
What is the action of acetic anhydride on ethylamine, diethylamine and triethylamine?
Answer:
Acetylation of amines : The reaction in which the H atom attached to nitrogen in amine is replaced by acetyl group  is called acetylation of amines.

(1) Ethylamine on reaction with acetic anhydride forms monoacetyl derivative, N-acetylethylamine.

(2) Diethylamine (a secondary amine) on reaction with acetic anhydride forms a monoacetyl derivative, N-acetyldiethyl amine (or N,N-diethyl acetamide).

(3) Triethylamine does not react with acetic anhydride as it does not have any H atom attached nitrogen atom of amin e

Question vii.
Distinguish between ethylamine, diethylamine and triethylamine by using Hinsberg’s reagent?
Answer:
This reaction is useful for the distinction of primary, secondary and tertiary amines.

(i) Primary amine (like ethyl amine) is treated with Hinsberg’s reagent (benzene sulphonyl chloride) forms N-alkyl benzene sulphonamide which dissolve in aqueous KOH solution to form a clear solution of potassium salt and upon acidification gives insoluble N-alkyl benzene sulphonamide.

(ii) Secondary amine like diethyl amine is treated with benzene sulphonyl chloride forms N,N-diethyl benzene which sulphonyl amide remains insoluble in aqueous KOH and does not dissolve in acid.

(iii) Tertiary amine like triethyl amine does not react with benzene sulphonyl chloride and remains insoluble in KOH, however it dissolves in dil. HCl to give a clear solution due to formation of ammonium salt.

Question viii.
Write reactions to bring about the following conversions :
a. Aniline into p-nitroaniline
b. Aniline into sulphanilic acid?
Answer:
(1) Aniline into p-nitroaniline

(2) Aniline into sulphanilic acid.

Question 1.
Write reaction to convert methyl bromide into ethyl amine? Also, comment on the number of carbon atoms in the starting compound and the product.
Solution :
Methyl bromide can be converted into ethyl amine in two stage reaction sequence as shown below.

The starting compound methyl bromide contains one carbon atom while the product ethylamine contains two carbon atoms. A reaction in which number of carbons increases involves a step up reaction. The overall conversion of methyl bromide into ethyl amine is a step up conversion.

Problem 13.1 : (Textbook Page No 295)

Question 1.
Write the scheme for preparation of p-bromoaniline from aniline. Justify your answer.
Solution :
NH₂ – group in aniline is highly ring activating and o – /p – directing due to involvement of the lone pair of electrons on ‘N’ in resonance with the ring. As a result, on reaction with Br₂ it gives 2,4,6-tribromoaniline. To get a monobromo product, it is necessary to decrease the ring activating effect of – NH₂ group. This is done by acetylation of aniline. The lone pair of ‘N’ in acetanilide is also involved in resonance in the acetyl group. To that extent, ring activation decreases.

Hence, acetanilide on bromination gives a monobromo product p-bromoacetanilide. After monobromination the original – NH₂ group is regenerated. The protection of – NH₂ group in the form of acetyl group is removed by acid catalyzed hydrolysis to get p-bromoaniline, as shown in the following scheme.

Question 1.
(1) Can aniline react with a Lewis acid?
(2) Why aniline does not undergo Frledel – Craft’s reaction using aluminium chloride?
Answer:
(1) Aniline reacts with a Lewis acid, forms salt.
(2) Aniline does not undergo Friedcl-Crafr’s reaction (alkylation and acetylation) due to salt formation with aluminium chloride (Lewis acid), which is used as catalyst. Due to this, nitrogen of anime acquires + ve charge and hence acts as strong deactivating effect on the ring and makes it difficult for electrophilic attack.

(1) Do tertiary amines have ‘H’ bonded to ‘N?
(2) Why do tertiary amines not react with benzene sulfonyl chloride?
Answer:
(1) Tertiary amines  do not have ‘H’ bonded to ‘N’.
(2) Tertiary amine does not undergo reaction with benzene sulphonyl chloride as it does not have any H atom attached to nitrogen atom of amine.
