Cambridge University Press 0521782848 - Amines: Synthesis, Properties and Applications Stephen A. Lawrence Frontmatter More information AMINES Synthesis,PropertiesandApplications The understanding of amine chemistry is of paramount importance to numerous chemicalindustries,aswellastoacademicresearch.Thisbookprovidesanauthor- itative account of the properties and applications of amines with respect to the characteristicsofbondedsubstituentsandthenatureoftheirchemicalandphysical environments. The synthesis of alkyl, aryl and heterocyclic amines and inorganic amines with a review of their typical reactions is comprehensively treated, whilst practical synthetic and analytical methods for laboratory preparation and detec- tionareprovided.Theimportanceofaminechemistryfromthenineteenthcentury to the modern day, with a brief history of the development of ammonia synthe- sis, is included. This book is an invaluable reference source for undergraduates, postgraduatesandchemicalresearchersworkinginindustry.

Having worked with amines for many years, both on a small scale in the lab- oratory producing gram quantities of novel amines and also on a larger scale on full-sizedmanufacturingplantsproducingseveralhundredtonnesperyearofamine- basedpharmaceuticalintermediates,ithasalwaysbeenaproblemformethatIcould neverfindasingle,up-to-date,resourcebookspecificallydedicatedtothesynthesis, propertiesandreactionsofamines.ThemostrecentexamplesthatIwasabletofind that cover the whole area of amine chemistry were David Ginsburg’s Concerning Amines, which dates from 1968, and the third edition of Neville Sidgwick’s The OrganicChemistryofNitrogen(firstpublishedin1910butrevisedin1966byI.T. MillerandH.D.Springham),althoughmostgeneralorganicchemistrybookscon- tain a chapter or two on amines. Eventually I decided that the best way to rectify thissituationwouldbeformetowritesuchabook,andsothiswasmyreasonfor approaching Cambridge University Press, who agreed to my proposal. It is my hopethatthereadersofthisbookwillfindthatitcontainstheanswerstomanyof theirunansweredquestionsaboutaminesandalsoprovidessuitablereferencesfor furtherstudy. This book contains eight chapters and three appendices. Chapter 1 reviews the history and properties of ammonia and nitrogen. Chapters 2 and 3 are concerned withtheproperties,synthesesandreactionsofalkylandarylaminesrespectively.
