Amine: primary aminesecondary aminetertiary aminequaternary ammonium ionAlthough this word is correctly stressed on the first syllable, U.S. usage often stresses it on the last syllable. A substance formally derived from ammonia by the replacement of one or more of the hydrogen atoms by hydrocarbon or other radicals. The substitution of one hydrogen atom constitutes a primary amine; that of two atoms, a secondary amine; that of three atoms, a tertiary amine; and that of four atoms, a quaternary ammonium ion, a positively charged ion isolated only in association with a negative ion. The amines form salts with acids.
