Amines are bases due to the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom of amines. These react with water to form hydroxyl ions.

Bases are those species that donate OH- ions (hydroxyl ions). The more easily is the availability of the hydroxyl ions; more is the basicity of the amine.

In tertiary amines there are large steric hindrance to the extent to hydrogen bonding in the conjugate base amine cation are formed .
