Amines are usually formed from nitro compounds, halides amides, imides etc.They exhibit hydrogen
bonding which influences their physical properties.In alkyl amines,a combination of electron
releasing, steric and hydrogen bonding influence the stability of thesubstituted ammonium cation in
protic polar solvents and thus effect the basic nature of amines In aromatic amines ,electron
releasing and withdrawing groups respectively increase and decrease their basic nature. Infiuence of
the number of hydrogen atoms and nature of products is responsible for identiication and distinction
between primary secondary and tertiary amines. Presence of amino group in aromatic amines
enhances their reactivity.
