The present authors with co-workers studied extraction with readily available DC18C6 (common mixture of isomers) and picrate [56,69,70]. Extraction efficacy for primary amines was found to follow the expected series methyl < /-butyl < benzyl < octyl < nonylamine. Secondary and tertiary amines are recovered with crown ethers much less efficiently, as are amines with hydrophilic groups (e.g., noradrenaline). Among the chlorinated hydrocarbons studied as diluents, tetrachloroethane appeared the best [71] (Table 2). Tetrachloroethane is known to be the best in some other systems probably, its bulky molecules could not effectively solvate the host, which makes complexation with the guest easier [72]. We also developed an extraction-photometric method for the determination of benzylamine (1 — 10 jug/mL, relative standard deviation 5%) in the presence of less hydro-phobic primary amines, secondary/tertiary amines, and amino acids.

Ammonia can act as a nucleophile toward primary and some secondary alkyl halides to give primary alkylamines Yields tend to be modest because the primary amine IS itself a nucleophile and undergoes alkylation Alkylation of ammonia can lead to a mixture containing a primary amine a secondary amine a tertiary amine and a quaternary ammonium salt...

Ethoxylation and Propoxylation. Ethylene oxide [75-21-8] or propylene oxide [75-56-9] add readily to primary fatty amines to form bis(2-hydroxyethyl) or bis(2-hydroxypropyl) tertiary amines secondary amines also react with ethylene or propylene oxide to form 2-hydroxyalkyl tertiary amines (1,3,7,33—36). The initial addition is completed at approximately 170°C. Additional ethylene or propylene oxide can be added by using a basic catalyst, usually sodium or potassium hydroxide. 

Amines are ammonia derivatives in which one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by an organic radical. Amines are sometimes called nitrogen bases. Basic chemistries include fatty amines (as primary, secondary, tertiary, and polyamines), amine salts, quaternary ammonium compounds, amine oxides, and amides. 

The reaction of diazo compounds with amines is similar to 10-15. The acidity of amines is not great enough for the reaction to proceed without a catalyst, but BF3, which converts the amine to the F3B-NHR2 complex, enables the reaction to take place. Cuprous cyanide can also be used as a catalyst. The most common substrate is diazomethane, in which case this is a method for the methylation of amines. Ammonia has been used as the amine but, as in the case of 10-44, mixtures of primary, secondary, and tertiary amines are obtained. Primary aliphatic amines give mixtures of secondary and tertiary amines. Secondary amines give successful alkylation. Primary aromatic amines also give the reaction, but diaryl or arylalkyl-amines react very poorly. 

Similarly, primary amines give tertiary as well as secondary amines. In order to minimize this, the aldehyde or ketone is treated with an excess of ammonia or primary amine (unless of course the higher amine is desired). 

While the desired product of the hydrogenation of nitriles is often the primary amines, the proportion of primaiy/secondary/tertiary amines in the product is strongly affected by the nature of metal. In the hydrogenation of nitriles on Group VIII metals, the selectivity of primary amine decreases in the order Co>Ni>Ru>Rh>Pd>Pt [1], The difference between Group VIII metals in selectivity to primary amine is explained by the difference in the electronic... 

One of the exciting results to come out of heterogeneous catalysis research since the early 1980s is the discovery and development of catalysts that employ hydrogen peroxide to selectively oxidize organic compounds at low temperatures in the liquid phase. These catalysts are based on titanium, and the important discovery was a way to isolate titanium in framework locations of the inner cavities of zeolites (molecular sieves). Thus, mild oxidations may be run in water or water-soluble solvents. Practicing organic chemists now have a way to catalytically oxidize benzene to phenols alkanes to alcohols and ketones primary alcohols to aldehydes, acids, esters, and acetals secondary alcohols to ketones primary amines to oximes secondary amines to hydroxyl-amines and tertiary amines to amine oxides.

Primary amine-containing polymeric particles are available from a number of manufacturers and have either aliphatic or aryl amine groups on their surface. Occasionally, a particle type may have secondary or tertiary amines present, but these should be avoided for covalent coupling, as primary amines typically give better reaction yields than secondary amines and tertiary amines are unreactive.

Since the order of increasing CL intensity for alkyl amines reacted with Ru(bpy)32+ is tertiary amines > secondary amines > primary amines, pharmaceutical compounds bearing a tertiary amine function (e.g., antihistamine drugs [99], anticholinergic drugs [100], erythromycin [101], and its derivatives [102]) have been sensitively determined after HPLC separation (Table 3). The method was applied to the detection of d- and L-tryptophan (Trp) after separation by a ligand-exchange HPLC [103], The detection limits for d- and L-Trp were both 0.2 pmol per injection. Oxalate in urine and blood plasma samples has also been determined by a reversed-phase ion-pair HPLC (Fig. 18) [104], Direct addition of... 

Amino acids labeled with DNS-C1 were determined using the Ru(bpy)32+ CL reaction after HPLC separation with a reversed-phase column [104, 105], DNS derivatives are expected to produce intense CL owing to their secondary and tertiary amino groups. The detection limit for DNS-Glu was 0.1 pM (2 pmol/ injection). Although underivatized amino acids could be detected by Ru(bpy)32+ CL, the DNS derivatives showed improved detection limits by three orders of magnitude [105], An approach to convert primary amines to tertiary amines was also reported [106], In this method, divinyl sulfone (DVS) was used for a cycloaddition reaction of primary amines (Fig. 19). The DVS derivatives after HPLC separation were sensitively detected (e.g., detection limits for propylamine and 3-aminopentane were 30 and 1 pmol, respectively).

N-Dealkylation reactions are not restricted to tertiary amines. Secondary amines as well as primary amines can also be dealkylated although both types are less favored than tertiary amines. In the case of primary amines, the lone pair of electrons of the amino group can interact and complex with the Fe3+ of heme. Thus primary amines tend to be inhibitors of P450 activation and for that reason are generally poor substrates. Secondary amines have metabolic properties intermediary between those of tertiary amines and primary amines. They are less-effective inhibitors because of increased steric hindrance to complex formation but are also better substrates because they are less-effective inhibitors and thereby increase the effective concentration of enzyme. 

It is well known that alkyl substitution changes the basicity of amines. However, solvation effects lead to an anomalous order of basicities in solution (NH3 tertiary amine < primary amine < secondary amine). From gas-phase proton affinity data the intrinsic effects of alkyl substituents can be evaluated and a quite regular order (NH3 < primary amine < secondary amine < tertiary amine) is obtained91.
