1Step1: Introduction. (part a)

Amines are organic nitrogen-containing compounds. These nitrogen-containing compounds are necessary for life as amino acids, nucleic acids, and so on. Some amines are used as decongestants in medicine. Alkaloids are naturally occurring amines found in plants that have strong physiological activity. Caffeine, nicotine, cocaine, and other alkaloids are examples. Amines are ammonia derivatives in which one or more hydrogen atoms have been supplanted by alkyl or fragrant groups.
