amines

Amines are organic derivatives of ammonia. Amines, like ammonia, are weak bases
(Kb = 10?4
to 10?6
). This basicity is due to the unshared electron pair on the nitrogen
atom.
Amines occur widely in both plants and animals tissues .Nicotine is found in tobacco
;and cocaine is found in the south American coca bush ,Amino acids are the building
block from all protein are made and cyclic amine basis are constituents of nucleic
acid.Classification and nomenclature of amines
Amines are classified as primary, secondary, or tertiary based upon the number of
carbon-containing groups that are attached to the nitrogen atom. Those amine
compounds that have only one group attached to the nitrogen atom are primary,
while those with two or three groups attached to the nitrogen atom are secondary
and tertiary, respectively.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
