Aromatic amine
Aniline
(1°)
N−phenylaniline
(2°)
N,N,−di−phenylamine
(3°)
N−methylaniline
Preparation
1) From Nitrobenzene
i) Catalytic reduction
ii) Acidic reduction
Properties
i) Aniline are less basic than Aliphatic amine and ammonia
Basic character
because available of lone pair of electron in nitrogen atom is decreases due to the resonance.
ii) Rxn with HCl or H2SO4
Anilinium chloride
Anilinium sulphate
iii) Alkylation (Rxn with alkyl halide)
Trimethylanilinium chloride
iii) Acylation
acid halide (acetic chloride) → N−phenylethanamide (acetanilide)
iv) Carbylamine rxn
phenyl isocyanide
v) Coupling rxn
orange red dye
vi) Diazotization
B.D.C. (Benzenediazonium chloride)
vii) Electrophilic substitution rxn
viii) Halogenation
white ppt
ix) Sulphonation
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.
