Amines, like ammonia NH3, are polar compounds and, except for tertiary amines, form intermolecular hydrogen bonds leading to higher boiling points than non-polar compounds of the same molecular weight, but lower boiling points than alcohols or acids. The smaller molecules, containing up to about six carbon atoms, dissolve in water. Aliphatic amines are similar in basicity to ammonia and form water-soluble salts with acids ... 

The 42.3 g of the bis-compound are heated under reflux in 210 cc of 96% ethanol containing 10% of hydrogen chloride, to the boiling point of the alcohol. After dissolution, the substance is boiled for 20 minutes under reflux. It is cooled, filtered and washed with alcohol. By concentrating the mother liquor and the washing liquid by evaporation, further amounts of substance are obtained. 

Sulfur Compounds. All crude oils contain sulfur in one of several forms including elemental sulfur, hydrogen sulfide, carbonyl sulfide (COS), and in aliphatic and aromatic compounds. The amount of sulfur-containing compounds increases progressively with an increase in the boiling point of the fraction. A majority of these compounds have one sulfur atom per molecule, but certain aromatic and polynuclear aromatic molecules found in low concentrations in crude oil contain two and even three sulfur atoms. Identification of the individual sulfur compounds in the heavy fractions poses a considerable challenge to the analytical chemist.
