  • Hofmann’s bromide reaction
  • Ammonolysis
  • Gabriel phthalimide synthesis
  • Schotten – Baurnann reaction
  • Carhvlamine reaction
  • Mustard oil reaction
  • Coupling reaction
  • Diazotisation
  • Gorenberg reaction

I Hofmann’s bromamide reaction:

Samacheer Kalvi 12th Chemistry Guide Chapter 13 Organic Nitrogen Compounds 45
In Hofnianns degradation acid amide is converted into an amine with one carbon less by Br2/ KOH.

ii. Ammonolysis:
Samacheer Kalvi 12th Chemistry Guide Chapter 13 Organic Nitrogen Compounds 46
In Hoffmann’s ammonolysis alkyl halides are heated with alcoholic ammonia in a sealed tube, mixtures of 1o, 2o and 3o amines and quarternary ammonium salts are obtained.

iii. Gabriel phthalimide synthesis
Samacheer Kalvi 12th Chemistry Guide Chapter 13 Organic Nitrogen Compounds 47
Phthalimide on treatment with alcoholic KOH forms potassium phthalimide which on heating with alkyl halide followed by alkaline hydrolysis gives primary amine. Aniline can not be prepared by this method.

iv. Schotten – Baumann reaction:
Samacheer Kalvi 12th Chemistry Guide Chapter 13 Organic Nitrogen Compounds 48
Benzoylation of amines to give N-alkyl benzamide in presence of NaOH is known as Schotten Baumann reaction.

v. Carbylamine reaction
Samacheer Kalvi 12th Chemistry Guide Chapter 13 Organic Nitrogen Compounds 49
Primary’ amines react with chloroform and alcoholic KOH to form isocyanides called carbylamines with unpleasant smell. This is used to identify primary amines.

vi. Mustard oil reaction
Samacheer Kalvi 12th Chemistry Guide Chapter 13 Organic Nitrogen Compounds 50When primary amines are treated with carbon disulphide, N-alkyl dithiocarbamic acid is formed which on treatment with HgCl2 gives an alkyl isothiocyanate.

vii. Coupling reaction:
Samacheer Kalvi 12th Chemistry Guide Chapter 13 Organic Nitrogen Compounds 51
Benzenediazonium chloride reacts with electron-rich aromatic compounds like phenol, undergoing
electrophilic substitution at para position.

viii. Diazotisation:
Samacheer Kalvi 12th Chemistry Guide Chapter 13 Organic Nitrogen Compounds 52
Aniline reacts with nitrous acid at 273-278K to form benzene diazonium chloride.

Question 7.
How will you distinguish between Primary, Secondary, and tertiary aliphatic amines
Answer:
Samacheer Kalvi 12th Chemistry Guide Chapter 13 Organic Nitrogen Compounds 54
Samacheer Kalvi 12th Chemistry Guide Chapter 13 Organic Nitrogen Compounds 55

 Samacheer Kalvi 12th Chemistry Guide Chapter 13 Organic Nitrogen Compounds
Question 8.
Account for the following
Answer:

  • Aniline does not undergo Friedel – Crafts reaction
  • Diazonium salts of aromatic amines are more stable than those of aliphatic amines.
  • pKb of aniline is more than that of methylamine
  • Gabriel phthalimide synthesis is preferred for synthesising_primary amines
  • Ethvlamine is soluble in water whereas aniline is not
  • Amines are more basic than amides
  • Although amino group is o – and p – directing in aromatic electrophilic substitution reactions, aniline on nitration gives a substantial amount of m – nitroaniline.

i) Aniline does not undergo Friedel – crafts reaction, because Aniline is basic in nature
Aniline donates its lone pair to the lewis acid Alcl3 to form an adduct which inhibits further electrophilic substitution reaction

ii) The stability of diazonium salts of aromatic amines is due to the dispersal of the positive charge over the benzene ring.
Samacheer Kalvi 12th Chemistry Guide Chapter 13 Organic Nitrogen Compounds 56

iii) In aniline the NH
group is directly attached to the benzene ring.
The lone pair of electron on nitrogen atom in aniline gets delocalised over the benzene ring.
Hence it is less available for protonation.
So aniline is less basic than methylamine and pKb of aniline is more than that of methylamine.

iv) Gabriel phthalimide synthesis results in the formation of primary amines only. Secondary and tertiary amines are not formed in this synthesis. Thus a pure primary amine can be obtained.
Therefore, Gabriel phthalimide synthesis is preferred for synthesizing primary amines.

v) Ethvlamine forms intermolecular hydrogen bonds with water. Hence it is soluble in water.
But aniline does not form hydrogen bond with water to a very large extent due to the presence of a large hydrophobic C6H5 – group. Hence aniline is insoluble in water

vi) In amides the carbonyl group (C = 0) is highly electronegative and draws the electrons towards it.
This makes the lone pair of amide nitrogen less available to accept a proton.
Hence amides are less basic than amines.
But in amines the alkyl groups being electron releasing groups. the electron pair on amine nitrogen is readily available to accept a proton.

vii) Hence amines are more basic than amides.
In strong acid medium aniline is protonated to form anilinium ion which is rn-directing.
Hence a substantial amount of rn-nitroaniline is formed during nitration of aniline.

ii) Increasing order of basic strength
a) p-nitro aniline
aniline
p-toludine
b) p – Cl- C6H4– NH2 < C6H5NH2 < C6H5NHCH3 < C6H5NH2
Hint > p-nitrogroup (-I) electron with drawing, hence decreases the basic strength.
Hint > p-methyl group (+I) electron releasing, hence increases the basic strength.
iii) Decreasing order of basic strength in gas phase
(C2H5)3N > (C2H5)2 NH > C2H5 NH2> NH3
Hint > In the gas-phase there is no solvation effect. As a result the basic strength mainly depends on the + I effect. Higher the number of alkyl groups higher will be the +1 effect, stronger is the base.
iv) Increasing order of boiling point.
(CH3)2NH <C2H5NH2 <C6H5OH
Hint > Amines generally have lower boiling point than alcohols of comparable molar mass. Since amines have weaker H-bonds.
Hint
Secondary amines
primary amines
v) Decreasing order of pK values
C6H5NHCH3> C2H5NH2> CH3 NH2> (C2H5)2 NH
Hint > Basic character increases. pKb value decreases. Higher the basic nature, lower will be the pkb’ value.
vi) Increasing order of basic strength
C6H5NH2 < C6H5-N(CH3)2 < CH3 NH2 < (C2H5)2NH
vii) Decreasing order of basic strength

Question 5.
Write notes on structure of amines
Answer:

  • Like ammonia, nitrogen atom of amines is trivalent.
  • It carries a lone pair of electron.
  • Nitrogen atom is sp3 hybridised.
  • Out of four sp3 hybridised orbitals, three sp3 orbitals overlap with hydrogen or carbon of alkyl groups.
  • Fourth sp3 orbital contains a lone pair of electron.
  • Amines posses pyramidal geometry.
  • Due to the presence of lone pair of electron the C-N-H or C-N-C bond angle in less than the normal
    tetra hedral bond angle 109.5O
  • In trimethyl amine the C-N-C bond angle is 108O which is lower than the tetrahedral angle and higher than the H-N-H bond angle of 107O in ammonia.
  • This increase is due to the repulson between the bulky methyl groups.
