Solution
Amines
- Amines can be considered as derivatives of ammonia.
- It is obtained by replacing one, two, or all three hydrogen atoms by alkyl or aryl groups.
Basicity of amine
- A lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom of amines are readily available for protonation. This is what drives basic nature of amines.
