AMINES, AMIDES and ANILINE. Amines. An amine is a base as well as a nucleophile. Some amines are heterocyclic compounds (or heterocycles). Most drugs, vitamins, and many other natural products are heterocycles. A natural product is a compound synthesized by a plant

Amines • An amine is a base as well as a nucleophile • Some amines are heterocyclic compounds • (or heterocycles) • Most drugs, vitamins, and many other natural products • are heterocycles • A natural product is a compound synthesized by a plant • or an animal
Organic bases are amines Amines are derivatives of ammonia N 1s2, 2s2 2p1 2p1 2p1----------- lone pair occupies an sp3 orbital
Amines are bases because of the lone pair on the nitrogen atom -red litmus paper to blue
The lone-pair electrons on nitrogen allows an amine to turn “inside out” rapidly at room temperature
Some Common Amines 1,4-butanediamine Both upper amines are 1o This amine is 1o This amine is 3o This amine is are 2o

Amides ------------- Not acids or bases • Features of a Peptide Bond • Usually inert • Planar to allow delocalisation • Restricted Rotation about the amide bond • Rotation of Groups (R and R’) attached to the amide bond is relatively free
