Classification of amines<\/h2>\n
According to the number of alkyl groups attached to the nitrogen atom, amines are classified as:<\/p>\n
1. Primary\u00a0(10<\/sup>) amines<\/h3>\nWhen only one alkyl group is attached to the nitrogen atom of an amine by replacing one hydrogen atom, that is called primary (10<\/sup>) amine.<\/p>\n2. Secondary (20<\/sup>) amines<\/h3>\nWhen two alkyl groups are attached to the nitrogen atom of an amine, that is called secondary (20<\/sup>) amine.<\/p>\n3. Tertiary (30<\/sup>) amines<\/h3>\nWhen three alkyl groups are attached to the nitrogen atom of an amine, that is called tertiary (30<\/sup>) amine.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/0\/04\/Prim_sec_tert_Amines_General_Formulae.png\" "\\"\\"")

The following rules are applied while naming amines:<\/p>\n
1. For primary amines, the name of the alkyl group is prefixed to amine. Such as,<\/p>\n
\n\n\nName<\/td>\n Structure<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nMethylamine<\/td>\n CH3<\/sub>-NH2<\/sub><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nEthylamine<\/td>\n CH3<\/sub>CH2<\/sub>-NH2<\/sub><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nn<\/em>-Propylamine<\/td>\nCH3<\/sub>CH2<\/sub> CH2<\/sub>-NH2<\/sub><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n2. If more than one identical alkyl groups are attached to the nitrogen atom, then the prefix di- or tri- is added to the name of alkylamine. As for example,<\/p>\n

When the alkyl groups of amines are not identical the name of the alkyl groups are added alphabetically. Such as,<\/p>\n

When the amine is too complex to name following the rules above, it is named using the IUPAC system. In this system, the longest chain of carbon is selected and the amine is considered as a substituent. The numbering of longest chain starts in such a way that the amine group gets the lowest number. The number and name of the other substituent are also added with the name of amines.<\/p>\n
