Aminerelated

Aminerelated is a descriptive term used in chemistry and related disciplines to denote substances, reactions, or properties that involve amines or amino groups. The form aminerelated is sometimes written as amine-related or hyphenated in different sources, but all refer to a focus on amine chemistry. It is not a formal scientific category, but a contextual label indicating relevance to amines in a given discussion, dataset, or bibliography.

The scope of aminerelated topics includes primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, as well as nitrogen-containing derivatives such as ammonium salts, anilines, amino alcohols, and amino acids. It encompasses functional groups where an amine moiety is central, as well as related transformations and properties such as basicity, nucleophilicity, and protonation behavior. Amine-containing polymers, catalysts, and materials also fall under aminerelated contexts when amine groups are key functional elements.

Common aminerelated activities in organic chemistry include formation and modification of C–N bonds, such as alkylation and acylation to form amides, as well as reductive amination and amine protection/deprotection strategies. In biochemistry and pharmacology, aminerelated topics cover neurotransmitters, amino acids, and drug molecules where amine groups influence activity, solubility, and receptor interactions. In data curation and literature, aminerelated tags help group compounds and reactions by the presence or relevance of amines.
