Amines/amides Flashcards
What 2 things can amine be?
Bases (accept H+)
Nucleophile (can donate a lone pair)
What intermolecular forces within themselves do primary amines have?
Hydrogen
What intermolecular forces within themselves do secondary amines have?
Hydrogen
What intermolecular forces within themselves do tertiary amines have?
PDPD
Which one out of primary, secondary and tertiary amines is the most soluble?
Tertiary
However, all form hydrogen bonds with water
What are the 3 options for naming primary amines?
N is on the end - ___yl amine
N is not on the end - ‘number’-amino ‘name of alkane’
2 Ns - ‘Number,number’-diamino ‘name of alkane’
What are the 2 options for naming secondary amines?
R groups are the same Di ‘name of alkyl’ amine
R groups are different N-‘name of short alkyl chain’ ‘name of long alkyl chain’ amine
What are the 4 options for naming tertiary amines?
All R groups are the same - Tri’name of alkyl’ amine
Longest R group is different - N,N - Di’name of short alkyl chains’ ‘name of longest alkyl chain’ amine
All R groups are different - (in alphabetical order) N-‘alkyl chain’-N-‘alkyl chain-N-‘alkyl chain’ amine
Short R group is different - N-‘short alkyl chain’ di ‘name of long alkyl chains’ amine
How do you name salts?
Name amine
Change amine to ammonium
Add the name of the negative ion
What charge does a Nitrogen have with 3 bonds?
Neutral
What charge does a Nitrogen have with 4 bonds?
+1
How can amines act as bases?
N has a lone pair of e- so can accept H+ and act as a base
What type of bond is between ammonium and the negative ion in ammonium salts?
Ionic bonds
Why do amines smell but salts don’t?
Amines are volatile while salts aren’t
How do you get rid of the smell from an amine?
Add an acid (makes a salt)
How do you get the smell back from a salt?
Add a base (it donates the H+ so acts as an acid)
What are the 2 types of amines you can make?
Aromatic amines
Aliphatic amines
What are aromatic amines?
N is directly bonded to a benzene ring
