Question
Explain the basic characterization of amine compounds with the process equation and state the importance of the process.
✓
Answer
→Amines, being basic nature react with acids to form salts.
→Amine salts on treatment with a base like NaOH, regenerate the parent amine.
$RN _{ N }^{+} H _3 X ^{-}+{ }^{-} OH \rightarrow R _{ N } H _2+ H _2 O + X ^{-}$
→Amine salts are soluble in water but insoluble in organic solvents like ether. This reaction is the basis for the seperation of amines from the non basic organic compounds insoluble in water.
