Introduction
Definition & Classification
Amino Compounds are organic/inorganic molecules containing the amino group (–NH₂) or its derivatives.
| Type | General Formula | Example | Key Feature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amines | R–NH₂ | Methylamine (CH₃NH₂) | Basic, nucleophilic |
| Amino Acids | H₂N–R–COOH | Glycine (H₂N–CH₂–COOH) | Zwitterionic at neutral pH |
| Amides | R–CO–NH₂ | Acetamide (CH₃CONH₂) | Less basic than amines |
| Ammoniates | [M(NH₃)ₓ]ⁿ⁺ | Tetraamminecopper(II) [Cu(NH₃)₄]²⁺ | Metal-ligand complexes |
Key Functional Groups
| Group Name | Structure | Example Compound | Polarity/Basicity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary Amino | R–NH₂ | Aniline (C₆H₅NH₂) | Polar, weakly basic (pKb ~9) |
| Secondary Amino | R₂NH | Dimethylamine [(CH₃)₂NH] | More basic than primary |
| Amido | R–CO–NH₂ | Urea (NH₂CONH₂) | Neutral in water |
Properties & Reactivity
- Basicity:
- Amines > Ammonia > Amides
- Aromatic amines (e.g., aniline) are less basic due to resonance.
- Solubility:
- Low-MW amines (C1–C3) are water-soluble; higher homologs are lipid-soluble.
- Reactions:
- Amines: Form salts with acids (e.g., HCl → RNH₃⁺Cl⁻).
- Amides: Hydrolyze to carboxylic acids + NH₃ under acid/base conditions.
Industrial Applications
| Compound Class | Application | Example Use |
|---|---|---|
| Amines | Pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals | Epinephrine (adrenaline), herbicides |
| Amino Acids | Food additives, biopharmaceuticals | L-Glutamate (MSG), insulin production |
| Amides | Polymers, solvents | Nylon-6,6, DMF (dimethylformamide) |
| Ammoniates | Catalysts, fertilizers | Haber process (NH₃ synthesis) |
Safety & Handling
| Compound Type | Hazard | Precaution |
|---|---|---|
| Volatile Amines | Corrosive, foul odor (e.g., (CH₃)₃N) | Use fume hood, sealed containers |
| Aromatic Amines | Carcinogenic (e.g., benzidine) | PPE (gloves, respirator) |
| Concentrated NH₃ | Severe burns, inhalation risk | Store in pressurized cylinders |
