Amines are more basic than comparable alcohols. |
|
Answer» Solution :Amines are more basic than camparable alcohols because of the following two reasons: (i) N being less electronegative is more willing to donate its lone pair of ELECTRONS to a proton than the more electronegative O atom. Therefore, amines are more basic than alcohols. (ii) when an amine ACCEPTS a proton, ammonium salt is formed and when an ALCOHOL accepts a proton oxonium salt is formed. Since N being less electronegative can accommodate the positive CHARGE better than the more electronegative O atom, therefore, ammonium salts are more stable than oxonium salts. as a result, amines are more BASI than alcohols. |

Amines are less reactive in substitution reactions. Their reactivity is much lesser than alcohols and alkylflourides towards substitution. Protonation of the amino group makes it a better leaving group, but not nearly as good a leaving group as a protonated alcohol. Protonated amino groups cannot be displaced by OH^(-) because it would react immediately with the acidic hydrogen which would convert it in to a poor nucleophile. The leaving group in quartenary ammonium ion has about the same leaving tendency as a protonated amino group but does not have acidic hydrogen. The reaction of a quartenary ammonium ion with hydroxide ion is known as Hoffmann elimination reaction. The leaving group is tertiary amine. Since a tertiary amine is only a moderately good leaving group, the reaction requires heat. The carbon to which the tertiary amine is attached is designated as alpha carbon. When the hydroxide ion starts to remove a beta H from a quartenary ammonium ion, the leaving group does not immediately start to leave because a tertiary amine is not a good leaving group. As a result, a partial negative charge builds up on the carbon from which the proton is removed. The compounds 'C' in question number 31 on heating with moist silver oxide gives |

Amines are basic in nature due to the presence of lone pair of electrons on N atom of -NH_(2) group. The basic strength of amines can be expressed by their dissociation constant, K_(b) or pK_(b). RNH_(2) + H_(2) to R NH_(3)^(+) + OH^(-) K_(b) = ([RHH_(3)^(+)][OH^(-)])/([RNH_(2)]) and pK_(b) = -log K_(b) Greater the K_(b) value or smaller the pK_(b) value, more is the basic strength of amine. Aliphatic amines are stronger bases than ammonia due to the electron releasing effect of alkyl groups. The basic strength among amines decreases as : 2^(@) gt 1^(@) gt 3^(@) Aryl amines such as aniline are less basic than aliphatic amines due to the involvement of lone pair of electrons on N atom with the resonance in benzene. In derivatives of aniline, the electron releasing groups increase the basic strength while electron withdrawing groups decrease the basic strength. The base weakening effect of electron withdrawing group and base strengthening effect of electron releasing group is more marked at p-position than at m-position. Every o- substituted aniline is less basic than aniline due to ortho effect. Maximum pK_(b) value is of |
