| Primary amides are prepared by reacting ammonia or amines with acid chlorides, anhydrides, or esters. |
| Elderly patients should not be treated with tertiary amines because of the greater anticholinergic effects of these agents. |
| Nitriles can be decomposed by acids or alkalis to give the corresponding carboxylic acid or they can be reduced to give primary amines. |
| The odor results from the liberation of amines and organic acids produced from the alkalization of anaerobic bacteria. |
| After hydrogenation, each of the four new amines on the ends of the molecule can react with acrylonitrile, resulting in eight new ends. |
| Ammonia and the organic amines, molecules in which one or more of the hydrogen atoms of ammonia are replaced by organic groups, are weak bases. |
