Chapter 29
Amines
The fishy smell of stale fish, the dye in a school uniform and the yellow of a pH indicator all come from compounds of nitrogen. Amines are the bases of organic chemistry, and aromatic amines lead to diazonium salts, which open the way to dyes and to dozens of other compounds. We see how amines are named and made, how strongly they act as bases, what they do with acids, acid chlorides and nitrous acid, and how a diazonium salt is made and used. Cyanides, isocyanides and nitro compounds are met in brief. It covers the unit of the Indian syllabus (NCERT, NEET, JEE Main and the state entrance exams) and the matching topic of A-Level, IB and AP.
