  2. Amine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amine

    Amine. In chemistry, amines (/ ə ˈ m iː n, ˈ æ m iː n /, [1] [2] UK also / ˈ eɪ m iː n / [3]) are compounds and functional groups that contain a basic nitrogen atom with a lone pair.Formally, amines are derivatives of ammonia (NH 3 (in which the bond angle between the nitrogen and hydrogen is 170°), wherein one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by a substituent such as an ...

  3. Zincke reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zincke_reaction

    The formation of the DNP-pyridinium salt. Upon heating a primary amine with the N-2,4-dinitrophenyl-pyridinium salt (2), the addition of the amine leads to the opening of the pyridinium ring. A second addition of amine leads to the displacement of 2,4-dinitroaniline (5) and formation of the König salt [5] (6a and 6b).

  4. Transamination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transamination

    A second type of transamination reaction can be described as a nucleophilic substitution of one amine or amide anion on an amine or ammonium salt. [1] For example, the attack of a primary amine by a primary amide anion can be used to prepare secondary amines: RNH 2 + R'NH − → RR'NH + NH 2 −

  5. Aminolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aminolysis

    Another common example is the reaction of a primary amine or secondary amine with a carboxylic acid or with a carboxylic acid derivative to form an amide. This reaction is widely used, especially in the synthesis of peptides. On the simple addition of an amine to a carboxylic acid, a salt of the organic acid and base is obtained.

  6. Aminoaldehydes and aminoketones - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aminoaldehydes_and_aminoke...

    Because primary and secondary amines react with aldehydes and ketones, the most common variety of these aminocarbonyl compounds feature tertiary amines. Such compounds are produced by amination of α-haloketones and α-haloaldehydes. [1] Examples include cathinones, methadone, molindone, pimeclone, ferruginine, and tropinone.

  7. Biogenic amine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biogenic_amine

    A biogenic amine is a biogenic substance with one or more amine groups. They are basic nitrogenous compounds formed mainly by decarboxylation of amino acids or by amination and transamination of aldehydes and ketones. Biogenic amines are organic bases with low molecular weight and are synthesized by microbial, vegetable and animal metabolisms ...

  8. Carboxylic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboxylic_acid

    For example, at room temperature, in a 1-molar solution of acetic acid, only 0.001% of the acid are dissociated (i.e. 10 −5 moles out of 1 mol). Electron-withdrawing substituents, such as -CF 3 group , give stronger acids (the p K a of acetic acid is 4.76 whereas trifluoroacetic acid, with a trifluoromethyl substituent , has a p K a of 0.23).

  9. Alkanolamine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkanolamine

    2-Aminoalcohols are an important class of organic compounds that are often generated by the reaction of amines with epoxides: C 2 H 4 O + R−NH 2 → RNHC 2 H 4 OH. Simple alkanolamines are used as solvents, synthetic intermediates, and high-boiling bases. [2] Hydrogenation or hydride reduction of amino acids gives the corresponding 2 ...
