Amines Are Used To Produce Dyes, Rubber, Pharmaceuticals, And Synthetic Resins And Fibers

 

Amines 

Amines are organic compounds that have a functional group consisting of a nitrogen atom with a lone pair of electrons attached to at least one organic hydrocarbon group. The organic group can be a single alkyl, aryl, or aromatic ring. They are often called by their IUPAC name, which is a combination of the prefix “amino-” and the suffix “-amine.”

Amine molecules have high melting and boiling points. This is because the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom can form hydrogen bonds with other molecules. These are very strong interactions and require a lot of energy to overcome.

Aside from their high melting and boiling points, they have several other interesting physical properties. For example, they have a trigonal pyramidal shape with nitrogen at the apex. Amines also have bond angles of 107 deg. This is the highest degree of symmetry that can be achieved in an organic compound.

They can act as both weak Bronsted-Lowry bases and Lewis bases. Because of the lone pair of electrons on nitrogen, they can easily form bonds with other molecules.

They can be used to neutralize acids in various products and processes. In addition, they can be reacted further to form derivatives with unique functionality for a variety of applications.

Chemical reduction and reactions of ammonia with organic compounds are the major methods for producing these compounds in industrial applications. A number of reactions can be carried out with these compound, including the substitution of oxygen with a hydrogen atom, as well as the alkylation of alcohols or other acyl groups by ammonia. Ethyl and benzeneamines are two examples of industrially manufactured. These are commonly used in making rubber, dyes, pharmaceuticals, and synthetic resins and fibers.

Aniline and ethanolamines are also widely used in water treatment applications. Amines are long-chain fatty compounds that lay a microscopic film on the surface of the water and thus help to prevent fouling by removing dirt, metals, and other foreign particles from the water.
