|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| What are the physical properties of amines? | Characteristic fish-like smell (particularly large amines), high boiling points (London forces, hydrogen bonding), small amines are miscible with water (H bonding, London forces)
🗑
|
||||
| Are amines basic or alkaline, why + evidence? | Basic: lewis base (N is lone pair donor) and BL base (proton acceptor). REacts with water to form: RNH3+ + OH- (resulting solution is alkaline). Reacts with acids to form alkylammonium salt
🗑
|
||||
| What determines base strength? | Amount of electron density on N atom, how delta negative it is, more delta negative = accepts H+ more easily = stronger base. 3 strongest, +ve inductive effect, 3 alkyl groups. Aromatic weakest, lone pair partially withdrawn into benzene ring
🗑
|
||||
| Describe the formation of complexes between Cu2+ ions and amines | CuSO4 contains blue [Cu(H2O)6]2+. Small amount of amine: deprotonation, amine acts as BL base, blue ppt [Cu(H2O)4(OH)2]. Excess amine: ligand exchange, amine acts as lewis base, ppt dissolves to form a deep blue solution [Cu(RNH2)4(H2O)2]2+
🗑
|
||||
| Which type of amines are more likely to form complexes? | - small amines> large amines - too much steric hindrance for large amines. - tertiary > primary - stronger base, N is more delta negative
🗑
|
||||
