Chemistry - Organic Chemistry - Functional Groups - Amines - Amine Chemistry Overview

4-step guide. Step 1: 'STRUCTURE: Amines have -NH₂, -NHR, or -NR₂ groups. Like ammonia but with organic groups replacing H. The N lone pair makes them: basic (accept H⁺), nucleophilic (attack electrophiles), and smelly (low MW amines smell like rotting fish!). Naming: -amine suffix (methylamine, eth
