Aromatic amine

NH₂

Aniline

(1°)

NH

N−phenylaniline

(2°)

N

N,N,−di−phenylamine

(3°)

NH−CH₃

N−methylaniline

Preparation

1) From Nitrobenzene

i) Catalytic reduction

Nitrobenzene + 6[H] Ni / Pt / Pd→ Aniline + 2H2O

ii) Acidic reduction

Nitrobenzene + 6[H] Sn / HCl→ Aniline + 2H2O

Properties

i) Aniline are less basic than Aliphatic amine and ammonia

R−NH2 > NH3 > Ar−NH2

Basic character

because available of lone pair of electron in nitrogen atom is decreases due to the resonance.

ii) Rxn with HCl or H2SO4

Aniline + HCl → [C6H5NH3]+Cl−

Anilinium chloride

Aniline + H2SO4 → [C6H5NH3]2SO4

Anilinium sulphate

iii) Alkylation (Rxn with alkyl halide)

Aniline CH3Cl / −HCl→ N−methylaniline CH3Cl / −HCl→ N,N−dimethyl aniline
N,N−dimethyl aniline + CH3Cl → [C6H5N(CH3)3]+Cl−

Trimethylanilinium chloride

iii) Acylation

Aniline + CH3COCl → C6H5NHCOCH3 + HCl

acid halide (acetic chloride) → N−phenylethanamide (acetanilide)

iv) Carbylamine rxn

C6H5NH2 + CHCl3 + 3KOH alc→ C6H5NC + 3KCl + 3H2O

phenyl isocyanide

v) Coupling rxn

Benzenediazonium chloride + Aniline → p−aminoazobenzene + HCl

orange red dye

vi) Diazotization

C6H5NH2 + HNO2 NaNO2 + HCl, 0−5°C→ C6H5N2Cl + 2H2O

B.D.C. (Benzenediazonium chloride)

vii) Electrophilic substitution rxn

Note: ortho para director
NH₂ δ− δ− δ−

viii) Halogenation

Aniline + 3Br2 aq→ 2,4,6−tribromoaniline + 3HBr

white ppt

ix) Sulphonation

Aniline + HO−SO3H → p−aminobenzene sulphonic acid + H2O

x) Nitration

Direct nitration of aniline is not carried out because −NH2 group is good reducing agent and conc HNO3 is strong oxidizing agent which produce black mass. Therefore during nitration at first amino group (−NH2) is protected by acylation and then followed by nitration.

Aniline + CH3COCl → Acetanilide + HCl
Acetanilide + HNO3 conc H2SO4, Δ→ o−nitroacetanilide + p−nitroacetanilide
o−nitroacetanilide + p−nitroacetanilide H2O / H+→ o−nitroaniline + p−nitroaniline
Nitration through acetanilide NHCOCH₃ NO₂ + NHCOCH₃ NO₂ H₂O / H⁺ ↓ NH₂ NO₂ NH₂ NO₂
