There are three kinds of amines which are primary, secondary and tertiary amines. These amines may have alkyl group or aryl group or both alkyl and aryl groups. These amines can be distinguished from one another by various chemical tests.
An amine A on treatment with \(\text{NaNO}_2\) and \(\text{HCl}\) at 273-277 K, followed by treatment with ethyl alcohol, gives a compound B with empirical formula CH and molecular mass 78.

Amines are classified as primary \(\left(1^{\circ}\right)\), secondary \(\left(2^{\circ}\right)\) and tertiary \(\left(3^{\circ}\right)\) depending upon the number of hydrogen atoms replaced by alkyl or aryl groups in ammonia molecules. Aliphatic amines are a stronger bases due to \(+I\) effect of an alkyl groups.
Intermolecular hydrogen bonding in primary and secondary amines affects the boiling points of amines. The intermolecular association is more in primary amines than in secondary amines as there are more number of hydrogen atoms available for hydrogen bond formation. Nitro compounds are reduced to amines by passing hydrogen gas in the presence of finely divided nickel, palladium or platinum and also by reduction with metals in an acidic medium. Gabriel synthesis is used for the preparation of primary amines. Primary amines react with nitrous acid to give unstable diazonium-salts which can be used to synthesize a variety of compounds.
