Amines are prepared by replacing the hydrogen atom with alkyl or aryl groups from amonia (NH? ). Students can differntiateAliphatic and aromatic amines differ based on the type of group attached to the nitrogen atom.
Aliphatic amines have one or more alkyl groups (like methyl or ethyl) bonded to the nitrogen, such as ethylamine (CH? NH? ).
Aromatic amines have an aryl group (like benzene) directly bonded to nitrogen, for example, aniline (C? H? NH? ).

Aromatic amines have an aryl group (like benzene) directly bonded to nitrogen, for example, aniline (C? H? NH? ).
Aliphatic amines are generally more basic than aromatic amines because, in aromatic amines, the lone pair on nitrogen is delocalized into the aromatic ring through resonance, reducing its availability for protonation. This structural difference affects their chemical reactivity, basicity, and physical properties.
