This subtopic builds upon the concepts introduced in Stage 1 subtopics 4.2 and 5.2.

Amines are classified as primary, secondary, or tertiary.

• Identify, name systematically, and draw structural formulae of primary amines containing:
  • up to eight carbon atoms in the main chain, with side chains limited to a maximum of two carbon atoms
  • one or more amino groups.

Tool: Draw from name

Amines act as bases.

• Draw the structural formula of the protonated form of an amine, given the structural formula of its molecular form, and vice versa.
• Explain why the protonated form of an amine is more soluble in water than its parent molecular amine.
