Tertiary amines do not react with benzenesulfonyl chloride (Hinsberg’s reagent) under mild conditions, making them unresponsive to this reagent. This contrasts with primary and secondary amines, which undergo substitution reactions. The unreactivity of tertiary amines with Hinsberg’s reagent is utilized for amine distinction and separation. In a mixture of primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, treatment with benzenesulfonyl chloride allows selective identification and isolation of tertiary amines based on their lack of reactivity. This property aids in the stepwise differentiation and characterization of various amine functionalities in organic synthesis and analysis.
The -NH₂ group in aniline plays a crucial role in electrophilic substitution reactions.

The -NH₂ group in aniline plays a crucial role in electrophilic substitution reactions. The amino group is an ortho-para director, meaning it directs incoming electrophiles to the ortho and para positions of the aromatic ring. This directing effect is due to resonance stabilization. In aniline’s resonance hybrid structures, the maximum electron density is located on the ortho and para positions of the ring. The lone pair on the nitrogen atom is involved in resonance, contributing to the electron density in these positions. This directing effect influences the regioselectivity of electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions involving aniline.
The challenge in electrophilic substitution reactions of aromatic amines, like aniline, lies in the potential for poly-substitution due to the activating nature of the amino group.

The challenge in electrophilic substitution reactions of aromatic amines, like aniline, lies in the potential for poly-substitution due to the activating nature of the amino group. To control mono-substitution, N-acylation is often employed. By acylating the amino group with an acylating agent like acetic anhydride, the activating effect of -NH₂ is reduced. The acylated aniline is less reactive towards electrophiles, limiting the substitution to only one position. After mono-substitution, the acyl group can be removed to regenerate the amino group. This strategy allows for the controlled introduction of substituents in the presence of the amino group.

In the IUPAC naming system for primary amines, the parent alkane is named, and the suffix “-amine” is added, indicating the amino functional group. The amino group is located by specifying the carbon atom to which it is attached and assigning a number to the parent alkane chain. For amines with multiple amino groups, the prefix “diamine,” “triamine,” etc., is used to indicate the number of amino groups. The carbon atoms to which the amino groups are attached are specified, and their positions are indicated with numerical locants. The systematic approach in IUPAC nomenclature ensures clarity and precision in naming amines.

Primary amines obtained from ammonolysis play a crucial role in the synthesis of secondary and tertiary amines through nucleophilic substitution reactions. In the reductive alkylation process, primary amines react with alkyl halides or acyl halides, forming secondary and tertiary amines, respectively. The nucleophilic primary amine attacks the electrophilic carbon of the halide, leading to the replacement of the halogen by the alkyl group. This step is often followed by a reduction reaction to convert imines to amines. By using primary amines as starting materials, this method allows for the controlled synthesis of diverse secondary and tertiary amines with tailored structures.

A tertiary amine is formed by replacing three hydrogen atoms in ammonia (NH₃) with organic groups, resulting in the general structure R₃-N, where R represents alkyl or aryl substituents. The process involves nucleophilic substitution reactions with alkyl or aryl halides. Amines are characterized as ‘simple’ when all substituents are the same (e.g., trimethylamine), and ‘mixed’ when different organic groups are attached to the nitrogen atom (e.g., ethyl-methyl-propylamine). The classification is based on the diversity of substituents, influencing the properties and reactivity of amines.
