Compare and Contrast the properties and reactions of amines and alcohols. Amines and alcohols are similar in many aspects including the 3 different structures that can be produced for each, certain chemical properties and the elements within the compounds. However there are also many differences between the 2, including more physical properties, some chemical properties and their synthesis. In the essay I will explore both aspects and draw conclusions from the research I have found. Firstly the 3 structure for the amines are as follows: Primary amine - CH3NH2 Secondary amine - (CH3)2NH Tertiary amine - (CH3)3N The 3 structures for the alcohols are slightly different however a very similar principle occurs: Primary alcohols - CH3CH2OH Secondary alcohols - (CH3)2CHOH Tertiary alcohols - (CH3)3COH The main difference between the too structure is that in the amines the functional group is the nitrogen atom (N, NH or NH2) whereas in alcohols it the hydroxyl group (OH). Amines contain Hydrogen bonds...
