Difficulty guide

The label describes the problem, not your ability.

1/5 - Foundational

Warm-up setup; checks one basic idea.

2/5 - Routine exam skill

Normal syllabus skill; usually one main rule or interpretation.

3/5 - Standard multi-step

Exam-style problem with multiple steps or a common trap.

4/5 - Hard exam skill

High-end exam problem; combines methods carefully.

5/5 - Challenge

Stretch problem beyond normal exam pressure.

Topic 9.1

Structure, Classification and Nomenclature

Classify amines, name aliphatic and aromatic amines, and connect the nitrogen lone pair with pyramidal structure and hydrogen bonding.

Topic 9.2

Preparation of Amines

Use reduction, ammonolysis, Gabriel synthesis and Hoffmann bromamide degradation with correct carbon counting and limitations.

Topic 9.3

Basicity and Physical Properties

Compare basic strength using inductive effect, resonance and solvation, and explain solubility and boiling-point trends.

Topic 9.4

Chemical Reactions and Identification

Apply carbylamine, Hinsberg, acylation, electrophilic substitution and nitrous-acid reactions to distinguish and transform amines.

Topic 9.5

Diazonium Salts and Aromatic Synthesis

Prepare benzene diazonium salts at low temperature and use replacement, coupling and deamination reactions for synthetic conversions.
