Reactions of Amines

The document discusses methods for forming amines, including nucleophilic substitution of halogenoalkanes with ammonia and reduction of nitrites. It highlights the advantages and disadvantages of each method, noting that excess ammonia can prevent side reactions. Additionally, it mentions the use of catalytic hydrogenation as an alternative to expensive reducing agents in industrial applications.

Amine has lone pair of electrons hence it act as


nucleophile it react with
