REMARKS (DESCRIPTION OF AMINE)

Amine is a group of basic organic compounds derived by replacement of one (primary amines), two (secondary amines), or three (tertiary amines) of the hydrogen atoms in ammonia (NH3) by alkyl or aryl group. Primary amines contain the functional group -NH2 (called amino group). Aromatic amines also exist, such as phenylamine, which are important for the production of diazonium salts. They dissociate in water (some very weakly). Synthetic amines are made mostly by reaction of alcohols with ammonia, catalyzed by metals( nickel or copper) or metal oxide at high temperature. Hexamethylenediamine used in the manufacture of nylon-6,6 is prepared by catalytic addition of hydrogen to nitriles. Amines are bases and react with acids to give salts and with acid anhydrides to form amides. Amine Salts are crystalline substances that are readily soluble in water. Many insoluble alkaloids (e.g. quinine and atropine) are used medicinally in the form of soluble salts. If alkali (sodium hydroxide) is added to solutions of such salts the free amine is liberated. Amines offer many applications include in insecticides, dyestuffs (the best known being aniline), pharmaceuticals, and corrosion inhibitors.
