amine Flashcards
What is a primary amine
NH2 bonded to oe carbon
is ammonia a base or acid
base
Amine + acid
Salt
How do you make primary aliphatic amines
Haloalkanes reacted with excess ammonia in ethanol
What mechanism is making amines
nucleophilic substitution
Why is ethanol needed
Prevents water from reacting with haloalkane to make alcohol
Why is excess NH3 used
prevents further substitution from secondary and tertiary amines
How do you make primary aromatic amine
reduce with tin and con H2so4 under reflux to form ammonium salt,then NaOH
What does CH3CH2Nh2 and H2SO4 make
(CH3Ch2NH3+)2 SO4 2-
do alcohols or anime have a high bp
alcohol - oxygen is more electronegative
Explain why amines can behave as bases
Lone pair of N can accept H+ by forming a dative covalent bond
What is a sterioisomer
same structural formula different arrangement of atoms
What is an alcohol oxidised
Carboxilic acid and wotar
Why is anhydride used insteas of acyl chlorides sometimes
Less corrosive
less vunerable to hydrolysis
Why might polyesters with c=o be easier to break down
absorbs radiation and breaks down
ester linkage can be hydrolysed
