Aromatic amines fall into two categories those in which the amino group is directly attached to the aromatic ring and those where an amino group is part of a side chain. This chapter concentrates on the former group and deals with compounds such as aniline (phenylamine, benzenamine 1), rather than benzylamine (phenylmethanamine, 2) and similar compounds in which the amino group exhibits the reactions of an aliphatic amine. 

Aromatic amines are subdivided into primary amines, ArNH, such as aniline, secondary amines, ArNHR, in which the amino group has been monoalkylated and typified by A-methylaniline (A-methyl-A-phenylamine, 3), and tertiary amines, ArNR, such as A,A-dimethyl-aniline (A,A-dimethyl-A-phenylamine, 4). 

Trivial names for simple C-alkylated anilines are in common use thus the monomethylanilines (monomethylphenylamines) are known as toluidines e.g. p-toluidine. 5), and the dimethylanilines 

rather than benzylamine (phenylmethanamine, 2) and similar compounds in which the amino group exhibits the reactions of an aliphatic amine.
