Chem 1152: Ch. 16 Amines
Nitrogen • Mostly inert gas (N2) under standard conditions • ~78% of atmosphere • Found in: • Ammonia (NH3) • Nitrates (fertilizers) • Nitric acid (HNO3) • Propellants (N2O, nitrous oxide) • Explosives (nitroglycerine) • Cyanides (CN-) • 4th most abundant element in human body • Critical to building blocks of life/CNS function • Proteins • DNA • RNA • Neurotransmitters nitroglycerine Amino acid
Amines • Organic derivatives of ammonia • One or more H atoms replaced by aromatic or alkyl group Secondary (2°) Primary (1°) Tertiary (3°) : : : : ammonia R-OH alcohols Seager SL, Slabaugh MR, Chemistry for Today: General, Organic and Biochemistry, 7th Edition, 2011
Naming Amines – Common Names • Common names • For low MW amines • Alphabetically link names of alkyl or aromatic groups bonded to nitrogen, attach suffix –amine. methylamine ethylmethylamine trimethylamine methylphenylamine propylamine
Naming Amines – IUPAC Names • Replace –e in alkane with –amine. • Number position of amino group lowest on parent chain. • If substituent on nitrogen, prefixed with N.
Naming Amines – IUPAC Names • Replace –e in alkane with –amine. • Number position of amino group lowest on parent chain. • If substituent on nitrogen, prefixed with N. 3-Pentanamine 3-Methyl-1-butanamine 2-Hexanamine N,N-Dimethyl-2-hexanamine N-Methyl-2-butanamine N-Methyl-2-hexanamine 2,5-hexanediamine cyclohexylamine N-Ethyl-N-methyl-2-hexanamine
Naming Amines – Aromatics • Usually named as substituted anilines • For groups on N of aniline, identify with N to indicate not attached to ring aniline N-Ethylaniline 2-Methylaniline 3-Ethylaniline N,N-dimethylaniline diphenylamine N-Ethyl-N-methylaniline N-Ethyl-2-methylaniline 3-phenyl-2-heptanamine 2-Ethyl-N-methylaniline
Physical Properties of Amines • 1° and 2° amines form H-bonds among themselves • Bonds weaker for amines than alcohols (EN of oxygen > nitrogen) • BP’s of 1° and 2° amines lower than alcohols of comparable MW alcohol amine • Amines with fewer than 6 C’s (1°, 2° and 3°) soluble in water due to H-bonding • Amines stink! • Low MW amines smell like ammonia • Higher MW amines smell like rotten fish putrescine cadaverine
Chemical Properties of Amines • Basicity: Amines are weak bases From Brønsted-Lowry Base accepts proton and becomes a conjugate acid
Chemical Reactions of Amines • Amines reversibly react with water, form hydroxide ions • Amines form salts when they react with acids
Amine Salts Naming: Change amine to ammonium and add name of negative ion derived from acid Ethyldimethylamine (common) N,N-dimethylethanamine (IUPAC) ethyldimethylammonium ethyldimethylammonium bromide • Amine salts are white crystalline solids with high MP’s. • Amine drugs usually given in form of salts to improve their ability to dissolve in body fluids Seager SL, Slabaugh MR, Chemistry for Today: General, Organic and Biochemistry, 7th Edition, 2011
Amine Salts Amine salts are pH dependent, like CA’s. amine (high pH) amine salt (low pH) • Amine salts may have 4 alkyl/benzene groups quaternary ammonium salts • Acetylcholine is important QA salt involved in transmission of nerve impulses • Some QA salts have antiseptic qualities that kill bacteria and fungii. • e.g. benzalkonium (Zephiran) chloride used by physicians to scrub before surgery and to sterilize instruments Seager SL, Slabaugh MR, Chemistry for Today: General, Organic and Biochemistry, 7th Edition, 2011
Amides Amides are combination of CA and ammonia or amine joined by amide linkage. Amide Ester Carboxylic Acid Carboxylic Acid Ammonia or amine Alcohol Amide linkage Ester linkage Not formed by reaction between CA and amine (produces salt)
Amines Form Amides • Amides are formed through reaction of primary and secondary amines with acid chlorides and acid anhydrides. • Similar to esterification reactions. Seager SL, Slabaugh MR, Chemistry for Today: General, Organic and Biochemistry, 7th Edition, 2011

Aspirin Substitutes Acetylsalicylic acid • Aspirin • Pain reliever • Fever reducer • Anti-inflammatory • Acetaminophen • Pain reliever • Fever reducer • Does not irritate intestinal tract • Harmful side effects • Allergic reactions • Gastrointestinal bleeding • Can induce Reye’s syndrome in children • Negatives • Not an anti-inflammatory • Overuse can lead to liver and kidney damage Seager SL, Slabaugh MR, Chemistry for Today: General, Organic and Biochemistry, 7th Edition, 2011
Amines as Neurotransmitters • Neurotransmitters: Molecules that carry chemical messages between neurons in nervous system • released into synapse (gap between synaptic terminal of one neuron and Dendrite of another) in response to electrical signal • Diffuse across synapse and bind to receptors on dendrites of next neuron neuron Seager SL, Slabaugh MR, Chemistry for Today: General, Organic and Biochemistry, 7th Edition, 2011
Amines as Neurotransmitters • In CNS (brain and spinal cord), the most important neurotransmitters are amines: • Acetylcholine • Norepinephrine • Dopamine • Serotonin • In addition to being chemical messengers, some neurotransmitters may also be partly responsible for moods, mental illness Seager SL, Slabaugh MR, Chemistry for Today: General, Organic and Biochemistry, 7th Edition, 2011
Amines and Mental Illness • Neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrin both derived from tyrosine • Tyrosine essential AA obtained from diet (egg whites, turkey, soy) • Norepinephrine and epinephrine (adrenaline) act as drugs related to fight or flight response • directly increasing heart rate • triggers the release of glucose from energy stores • increases blood flow to skeletal muscle • increases the brain's oxygen supply • Excess norepinephrine (NE) results in feelings of elation • Low NE levels may cause depression Seager SL, Slabaugh MR, Chemistry for Today: General, Organic and Biochemistry, 7th Edition, 2011
