Amines : Synthesis, Properties and Applications

This up-to-date resource book is dedicated to the synthesis, properties and reactions of amines, this text contains practical synthetic and analytical methods for preparation and detection of amines and reviews the role of amines in industry. An invaluable reference for undergraduates, postgraduates and for chemical researchers working in industry.

The understanding of amine chemistry is of paramount importance to numerous chemical industries, as well as to academic research. This book provides an authoritative account of the properties and applications of amines with respect to the characteristics of bonded substituents and the nature of their surrounding chemical and physical environments. The synthesis of alkyl, aryl and heterocyclic amines and inorganic amines with a review of their typical reactions is comprehensively treated, whilst practical synthetic and analytical methods for laboratory preparation and detection are provided. The importance of amine chemistry from the nineteenth century to the modern day, with a brief history of the development of ammonia synthesis, is included. This book is an invaluable reference for undergraduates, postgraduates and chemical researchers working in industry.
