Amines & Diazonium Salts
├── Classification
│ ├── Primary ($RNH_{2}$)
│ ├── Secondary ($R_{2}NH$)
│ ├── Tertiary ($R_{3}N$)
│ └── Quaternary ammonium ($R_{4}N^{+}$) — not a base
├── Preparation
│ ├── Nitro Reduction ($RNO_{2}$ → $RNH_{2}$; Sn/HCl or $H_{2}$/Pd)
│ ├── Gabriel Phthalimide (1° aliphatic ONLY)
│ │ ├── Phthalimide + KOH → K-phthalimide
│ │ ├── + RX (SN2) → N-Alkylphthalimide
│ │ └── + $N_{2}H_{4}$ → $RNH_{2}$
│ ├── Hoffmann Bromamide (RCON$H_{2}$ → $RNH_{2}$; –1 carbon)
│ └── Ammonolysis (RX + $NH_{3}$ → mixture; poor selectivity)
├── Basicity
│ ├── Gas Phase: 3° > 2° > 1° > $NH_{3}$ (+I effect)
│ ├── Aqueous: 2° > 1° > 3° > $NH_{3}$ (solvation reverses 3°)
│ └── Aniline — weakest (resonance delocalization into ring)
│ ├── EDG (p-$OCH_{3}$) → slightly stronger base
│ └── EWG (p-$NO_{2}$) → even weaker base
├── Identification Tests
│ ├── Carbylamine Test (1° only; $CHCl_{3}$ + KOH → RNC, foul smell)
│ └── Hinsberg Test ($C_{6}H_{5}SO_{2}Cl$ + NaOH)
│ ├── 1° → sulfonamide soluble in NaOH
│ ├── 2° → sulfonamide insoluble in NaOH
│ └── 3° → no reaction
├── Diazonium Salts
│ ├── Formation: ArN$H_{2}$ + Na$NO_{2}$/2HCl at 0–5 °C → $ArN_{2}^{+}$$Cl^{-}$
│ ├── Sandmeyer (CuX/HX → ArX: Cl, Br, CN)
│ ├── Gattermann (Cu powder/HX → ArCl, ArBr)
│ ├── Schiemann ($HBF_{4}$ → $ArN_{2}^{+}$$BF_{4}^{-}$ → ArF; ONLY ArF route)
│ ├── Deamination ($H_{3}PO_{2}$ → ArH)
│ └── Azo Coupling
│ ├── With phenol (alkaline) → orange-red azo dye
│ └── With aniline (weakly acidic) → yellow azo dye
└── Applications
├── Azo dyes (textiles, food colouring)
├── Pharmaceuticals (sulfa drugs, anaesthetics)
├── Aniline → rubber chemicals, polyurethanes
└── Biogenic amines (dopamine, serotonin, adrenaline)
