Amines

Amines are organic compounds with a nitrogen atom having a lone pair of electrons on it. They are derived from ammonia (NH3) wherein hydrogen atoms are substituted by an aryl or alkyl group.

The amines are organic weak bases which are nitrogen-containing. In the early days of organic chemistry, basic amines derived from natural sources were known as “vegetable alkali”, but they are now referred to as alkaloids. The study of alkaloids provided much of the growth of organic chemistry, phytochemistry and natural products chemistry. It remains a fascinating area of research. Please search for one naturally occurring alkaloid and provide the following: Name of the alkaloid and show its structure. Identify using arrows the polar bonds in the structure Species from where it was isolated What was the use of this alkaloid in plants (if any)?
