Chapter 1: AMINES Class 12 Notes

1. What are Amines?

Amines organic derivatives of ammonia (NH₃) hote hain, jisme hydrogen atoms replace ho jaate hain alkyl (R) / aryl (Ar) groups se.

General Formula

  • Primary amine (1°): R–NH₂
  • Secondary amine (2°): R₂NH
  • Tertiary amine (3°): R₃N

Example:

  • CH₃NH₂ → Methylamine (1°)
  • (CH₃)₂NH → Dimethylamine (2°)
  • (CH₃)₃N → Trimethylamine (3°)

2. Classification of Amines

(A) Based on number of carbon groups

  1. Primary (1°): one carbon group
  2. Secondary (2°): two carbon groups
  3. Tertiary (3°): three carbon groups

(B) Based on nature of group

  • Aliphatic amines: R–NH₂
  • Aromatic amines: Ar–NH₂ (example: aniline C₆H₅NH₂)

3. Nomenclature (Naming of Amines)

Common Naming

Alkyl group + amine
Example: CH₃NH₂ = Methylamine

IUPAC Naming

  • Parent alkane ka name + amine
    Example: CH₃CH₂NH₂ = Ethanamine

Aromatic:
C₆H₅NH₂ = Benzenamine (Aniline)

4. Preparation of Amines

(1) Reduction of Nitro Compounds

Nitro compound → amine


RNO_2 \xrightarrow[HCl]{Sn} RNH_2

C_6H_5NO_2 \rightarrow C_6H_5NH_2

(2) Ammonolysis of Alkyl Halides


RX + NH_3 \rightarrow RNH_2 + HX

(3) Gabriel Phthalimide Synthesis

Only primary aliphatic amines banata hai.


R-X \rightarrow RNH_2

(4) Hoffmann Bromamide ReactionAmide se one carbon less amine banta hai.


RCONH_2 + Br_2 + 4NaOH \rightarrow RNH_2 + Na_2CO_3 + 2NaBr + 2H_2O

5. Physical Properties

  • Lower amines water soluble hote hain due to hydrogen bonding.
  • Amines ka smell fishy hota hai.
  • Boiling point:

1^\circ > 2^\circ > 3^\circ

6. Basicity of Amines (Most Important)

Amines basic hote hain because nitrogen ke paas lone pair hota hai.

Basicity Order in Gas Phase


3^\circ > 2^\circ > 1^\circ > NH_3

Basicity Order in Aqueous Solution


2^\circ > 1^\circ > 3^\circ > NH_3

Aromatic vs Aliphatic


Aliphatic\ amines > Aromatic\ amines

7. Important Reactions of Amines

(1) Reaction with Acids (Salt Formation)


RNH_2 + HCl \rightarrow RNH_3^+Cl^-

(2) Alkylation


RNH_2 + RX \rightarrow R_2NH

(3) Acylation

Amines react with acyl chloride.


RNH_2 + RCOCl \rightarrow RNHCO-R

(4) Carbylamine Test (Only Primary Amines)

Primary amines give foul smell of isocyanide.


RNH_2 + CHCl_3 + 3KOH \rightarrow RNC + 3KCl + 3H_2O

(5) Diazotization (Aromatic 1° amines)

Aniline reacts with nitrous acid at 0–5°C:


C_6H_5NH_2 + NaNO_2 + HCl \rightarrow C_6H_5N_2^+Cl^- + 2H_2O

(6) Coupling Reaction

Diazonium salt reacts with phenol/aniline to form azo dye:


C_6H_5N_2^+Cl^- + C_6H_5OH \rightarrow C_6H_5-N=N-C_6H_4OH

Chapter 2: BIOMOLECULES Class 12 Notes

1. What are Biomolecules?

Biomolecules wo compounds hote hain jo living organisms me found hote hain, like:

  • Carbohydrates
  • Proteins
  • Lipids
  • Nucleic acids
  • Vitamins

2. Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones.

General Formula

Types

  1. Monosaccharides (single unit)
    Example: Glucose, Fructose
  2. Disaccharides (two units)
    Example: Sucrose, Maltose, Lactose
  3. Polysaccharides (many units)
    Example: Starch, Cellulose, Glycogen

Glucose

Formula:


C_6H_{12}O_6

Important reactions:

  • Glucose reduces Fehling’s solution → red ppt of Cu₂O

Polymers are high molecular mass macromolecules made of repeating units called monomers.

Example: Ethene → Polyethene

(3) Based on Intermolecular Forces

  • Elastomers (rubber)
  • Fibres (nylon, terylene)
  • Thermoplastics (PVC, polythene)
  • Thermosetting plastics (Bakelite)

4. Important Polymers & Uses

(A) Rubber

Natural rubber = cis-1,4-polyisoprene

(B) Buna-S


Butadiene + Styrene \rightarrow Buna-S

(C) Neoprene

Chloroprene polymer.

(D) Bakelite

Phenol + Formaldehyde → Bakelite
