Amines are organic mixtures and purposeful assemblies that comprise a rudimentary nitrogen atom with a lone pair. Amines are derivatives of ammonia, wherein one or more hydrogen atoms have been restored by a substituent for example an alkyl or aryl group.[1] Important amines encompass amino acids, biogenic amines, trimethylamine, and aniline; glimpse Category:Amines for a register of amines. Inorganic derivatives of ammonia are furthermore called amines, for example chloramine (NClH2).
Compounds with the nitrogen atom adhered to a carbonyl of the structure R-C(=O)NR2 are called amides and have distinct chemical properties from amines.
