Some amines can have a strong and unpleasant odor, particularly those with lower molecular weights. For example, compounds like putrescine and cadaverine, which are produced by the breakdown of proteins, have foul odors often associated with rotting flesh or decay. However, higher molecular weight amines, such as those used in perfumes or food flavorings, can have more pleasant scents.

Why is aliphatic amines stronger bases than aromatic amines?

Aliphatic amines are stronger bases than aromatic amines because the lone pair on the nitrogen atom in aliphatic amines is more available for donation due to the absence of resonance effects that stabilize the lone pair in aromatic amines. This makes aliphatic amines more likely to accept protons and act as bases.
