Alkylamine nomenclature
« on: November 26, 2004, 07:46:43 PM »
I have a question, regarding secondary alkylamines, are secondary alkylamines things like DImethylamine and DIethylamine, as oppsed to methyl and ethylamine, or does the term secondary relate to substituted alkylamines such as phenylalkylamines?

secondary means the amine has 2 alkyl groups attach to it.

I asked this, because I read something interesting.

Phosphorus pentachloride makes a compound with ammonia, reacting directly and this when heated decomposes, yielding NH3Cl and HCl, and a substance of the formula PNH, with primary alcohols it gives the dialkylamine.

Looks like an interestingly easy synthesis for diethylamine and dimethylamine 8)

What say you people?
