SECTION-D
The following questions are case-based questions. Each question has an internal choice and
LA
carries 4 (1+1+2) marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
31. Amines constitute one of the most important class of organic compounds. In nature they
occur among vitamins, proteins, alkaloids and hormones. Synthetic examples includes drugs,
polymers and dyestuffs. Biologically active compounds such as adrenaline and ephedrine, both
containing secondary amino group are used to increase the blood pressure.
Amines are the derivatives of ammonia obtained by the replacement of one, two or three
hydrogen atoms by alkyl/aryl groups. Like ammonia, nitrogen atom of amines is trivalent and
carries an unshared pair of electrons. Amines are classified as primary secondary and tertiary
amine, depending upon the number of hydrogen atoms in ammonia molecule which get
replaced by alkyl (B) or aryl (Ar) groups.
A
Amines can be prepared by the reduction of nitro compounds, by the Hofmann-bromamide
degradation, by Gabriel phthalimide synthesis etc.
Amines constitute one of the most important class of organic compounds.
Amines are alkyl or aryl derivatives of ammonia formed by replacement of one or more
hydrogen atoms. Alkyl derivatives are called aliphatic amines and aryl derivatives are known as
aromatic amines. Both aliphatic and aromatic primary amines can be prepared by the reduction
B

of nitro compounds catalytically with H2 in the presence of active metal in acidic medium.
The presence of aromatic amines can be identified by performing dye test. Aniline is the
simplest example of aromatic amine. It undergoes electrophilic substitution reactions in which —
NH2 group strongly activates the aromatic ring through delocalisation of lone pair of electrons of
N-atom. Aniline undergoes electrophilic substitution reactions. Ortho and para-positions to the
—NH2 group become centres of high electron density. Thus, —NH2 group is ortho and para-
directing powerful activating group.
Answer the following questions.
(a) What is the best reagent to convert nitrile to primary amine?

(b) How will you convert ethyl iodide to ethyl amine and name all the compound involve in the
