aryl amines

Aryl amines are organic compounds featuring an amino group (-NH₂) attached directly to an aromatic ring, such as benzene. This structure connects the nitrogen atom to the ring's carbon atoms, enabling the compound to participate in various chemical reactions. Aryl amines are important in the synthesis of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and polymers because their aromatic and amino components influence their reactivity and properties. Compared to aliphatic amines, aryl amines tend to be less basic and less reactive, owing to the stability of the aromatic ring and the nature of the nitrogen's attachment.
