22.3 Synthesis of Amines | Organic Chemistry

Chad provides a comprehensive lesson on the synthesis of amines. This begins with the review of several reduction reactions including the reduction of nitro compounds, nitriles, azides and amides using LiAlH4. But several new syntheses are presented as well including the Hofmann Rearrangement (including the full mechanism), Curtius Rearrangement, and the Schmidt reaction which are all very similar. The Gabriel synthesis for primary amines is also covered as well as why it is necessary and then finally reductive amination is covered which involves the formation of imines and enamines which are then selectively reduced to their corresponding amines.

you, professor dave, and organic chemistry tutor are the only reasons i do alright in orgo

W video.

Explained the Gabriel Synthesis so well

[dilemma_]

for reduction of a nitrile and amides into amines, don't you need to use water as the second step with LiAlH4, not H3O+?

Where can a company by these film forming amine for use in Hot water and steam boilers?
