amine

(type of compound containing nitrogen)

An amine is a compound that includes nitrogen and is like ammonia (NH3) except that in place of each of one or more of the three hydrogen atoms is a group of atoms, each group essentially consisting of "most of a hydrocarbon". Amino acids are examples of amines. (Whether ammonia itself should be called the simplest amine is a matter of semantics.)
