Amides are neutral nitrogen-containing compounds. They are not acidic or basic (neutral) and exist as molecules both in aqueous solution and as pure substances.
These compounds contain carbonyl groups. The carbonyl
group is directly connected to a nitrogen atom.

Classification of Amines Amines are basic nitrogen-containing compounds that are
derivatives of ammonia. Amines are classified as: • Primary (the nitrogen atom has one hydrocarbon group
directly attached) • Secondary (the nitrogen atom has two hydrocarbon
groups directly attached) • Tertiary (the nitrogen atom has three hydrocarbon groups
directly attached).

Chemical Properties of Amines
Alkaline Properties of Amines Amines resemble ammonia in their reactions. Amines are
bases, and like ammonia, produce OH- ions in water

Amines are weak bases. Compare the pH of the following amines with the pH of ammonia.
• A 0.1M solution of NH3 has a pH of 11.1 • CH3NH2 is more basic at a pH of 11.8. • An aromatic amine like aniline is less basic at a pH of
8.8.

Amines also are a source of positive charges on biological molecules under physiological conditions. The neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin are typical examples of these charged amines.

Salt Formation Because amines are weak bases, they react with strong
acids to form ammonium salts. Methylamine for example reacts with strong acid yielding
the corresponding methylammonium salt.

Many amines or amino compounds are more stable in the
form of the hydrochloride salt. When the free amine is wanted, the HCl is neutralized to liberate the free amine.

Nitrogen compounds are found throughout the plant and animal kingdoms.
Amines, substituted amines, and amides occur in every
living cell. Many of these compounds have important physiological effects.

Sources and Uses of Selected Amines
Biogenic amines are derived from amino acids and act as neurotransmitters and hormones in animals.
• GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) slows nerve action and can
bring relaxation.
• Norepinephrine shown below affects our focus and concentration.

Sources and Uses of Selected Amines
Biogenic amines that act as hormones include the “fight-or-flight” hormone epinephrine (also a catecholamine) as well as histamine, an important component in allergic reactions.

Amphetamines are designed to mimic the action of biogenic amines and act as stimulants. They are used to treat depression, narcolepsy, and obesity.
The most widely abused amphetamine is
methamphetamine, commonly called “speed.”

Chapter 25 Summary
• Carboxylic acids react with ammonia to form salts. • Amides are neutral, nonionic compounds. The IUPAC
naming of amides follows a similar process to that used for other organic molecules.
• Strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding accounts for the amides’ high melting, boiling points and water solubility.
Chapter Outline
72
Chapter 25 Summary
• Amide hydrolysis uses water to split an amide into a carboxylic acid portion and a nitrogen-containing portion.
• Polyamides form when a carboxylic acid from one monomer reacts with an amine from a second monomer.
• Urea is a simple diamide of the structure. Animals excrete nitrogen in the form of urea. Urea is also a valuable fertilizer and industrial chemical.
