Concept explainers

Amines

Amines are organic compounds with a nitrogen atom having a lone pair of electrons on it. They are derived from ammonia (NH3) wherein hydrogen atoms are substituted by an aryl or alkyl group.

The following is the strategy in modern synthesis of indigo dye in industry. A, formaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide converted into N-phenylglycinonitrile at 85 °C. Hydrolysis takes place in aqueous alkali at 100 °C. The sodamide for the next stage is obtained by passing ammonia over molten sodium. The dried salt of phenylglycine (B) is dissolved in a eutectic, and therefore stirrable, mixture of sodium and potassium hydroxides at 220 °C and portions of molten sodamide are added. The reaction leads to sodium indoxylate, which undergoes oxidative hydrolysis to give indigo (yield of 84 %). CN NaOH/KOH A+CH₂O + HCN B + NH3 85 °C H₂O 100 °C 2 NaNH.
