BASICITY OF AMINES

The pair of electrons in the filled, nonbonded orbital of ammonia or an amine such as triethylamine may be donated to any electron-deficient chemical species. In an aqueous solution, an amine is a weak base and accepts a proton from water in a typical acid-base reaction, like this:

NH3 + H2O <--------> NH4+ + OH-

The presence of the OH- ...
