(ə-mēn’, ām’ēn)
any of a group of organic compounds that may be considered derivatives of ammonia (nh3) in which one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by a hydrocarbon radical. in aniline (c6h5nh2), for example, one hydrogen atom has been replaced by a phenyl group (c6h5). amines are produced by the decay of organic matter.
