13: Amines (Part 2) Flashcards
these provide easy access to many different benzene derivatives
Diazonium salts
All substituents can be divided into three general types namely
1.) Ortho, para directors and activators
2.) ortho para directors and deactivators
3.) Meta directors
_____________ of a diazonium salt with another benzene derivative to form an azo compound
Coupling
factor?: increasing the percent s-character in the orbital with the lone pair decreases basicity
hybridization effects
Pyrrole is much ____________ than pyridine because its lone pair of electrons is part of the aromatic system (delocalized).
less basic
Aryl diazonium salts undergo two general reactions namely?
substitution
coupling
Substituents that direct substitution meta
Meta directors
these are ortho, para director
EDG
a compound containing a nitrogen–nitrogen double bond
azo compound
factor?: electron-donating groups bonded to N increase basicity
inductive effects
Amines attack __________________ to form products of nucleophilic addition or substitution
carbonyl groups
In a ________________________, the base removes a proton from the less substituted, more accessible a carbon atom, because of the bulky leaving group on the nearby α carbon
Hofmann elimination
Secondary alkylamines and arylamines react with _____________ to form N-nitrosamines
nitrous acid
Polarizable alkyl groups donate electron density, and thus exhibit an __________________ inductive effect.
electron-donating
Substituents that activate a benzene ring and direct substitution ortho and para
Ortho, para directors and activators
Substituents that deactivate a benzene ring and direct substitution ortho and para
Ortho, para deactivators
this reacts more slowly than benzene in all substitution reactions
nitrobenzene
factor?: having the lone pair on N as part of the aromatic pi system decreases basicity
aromaticity
this is faster than benzene in all substitution reactions
toluene
Nitrous acid reacts with 1° alkylamines and arylamines (aniline) to form?
diazonium salts
Coupling of a diazonium salt with another benzene derivative to form an?
azo compound
these are meta director
EWG
When constitutional isomers are possible, the _______________ has the less substituted double bond in a Hofmann elimination
major alkene
factor?: delocalizing the lone pair on N decreases stability
resonance effects
_________________________ and _____________ react with nitrous acid to form N-nitrosamines
Secondary alkylamines, arylamines
The _____________________ converts an amine into an alkene
Hofmann elimination
In terms of increasing basicity for heterolytic amines:
pyrrole < pyridine < piperidine
these react with a variety of reagents to form products in which Z (an atom or group of atoms) replaces N2, a very good leaving group
aryl diazonium salts
The Hofmann elimination converts an amine into an?
alkene
Secondary alkylamines and arylamines react with nitrous acid to form?
N-nitrosamines
alkyl groups are _______________, making them electron-donating groups
polarizable
______________ reacts with 1° alkylamines and arylamines (aniline) to form diazonium salts
Nitrous acid
Pyrrole is much less basic than pyridine because its lone pair of electrons is part of the?
aromatic system (delocalized)
these are generally not useful compounds
Alkyl diazonium salts
All meta directors _____________ the ring.
deactivate
Pyridine is ________ than piperidine
less basic
