An aromatic amine is a type of organic compound that contains an amine group (-NH2) attached to an aromatic ring, which is a stable ring structure made of carbon atoms with alternating double bonds. These compounds are often derived from benzene and can be found in various chemical processes and products, including dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Aromatic amines can be classified into primary, secondary, and tertiary amines based on the number of carbon groups attached to the nitrogen atom. Some aromatic amines, such as aniline, are important in the production of synthetic dyes and can also have significant biological activity, making them relevant in both industrial and medicinal chemistry.
