Amines: Nomenclature and Properties

This lecture covers the nomenclature of amines, their properties, and synthesis methods. Amines are nucleophilic and basic due to the lower electronegativity of nitrogen, making them useful as organic bases. The protonation of amines is relatively easy, and they are strong bases. The lecture also discusses the synthesis of primary amines from nitriles and azides, highlighting their importance in organic chemistry reactions.
