Increasing the number of alkyl groups generally increases the basicity of amines due to the electron-donating effect.

The compound CH3-CH2-NH2 is named ethylamine according to IUPAC nomenclature.

The main functional group present in amines is the amino group (-NH2).

The main product of the reaction between an amine and a carboxylic acid is an amide.

The reaction between an amine and an alkyl halide typically produces a quaternary ammonium salt.

The reaction of an amine with nitrous acid produces a diazonium salt.

The reaction between an amine and a haloalkane is a nucleophilic substitution reaction.

The compound CH3-CH2-NH-CH3 is a secondary amine as it has two alkyl groups attached to the nitrogen.

Amines typically have a fishy odor due to their structure and are known for their ability to form hydrogen bonds.

Aromatic amines can be prepared by the reduction of nitro compounds.

Primary amines can be prepared by the reduction of nitriles, hydrolysis of amides, and alkylation of ammonia.
