Amines, Amides And Haloalkanes

Question 1

The difference between amine and Amide is that

Answer 1

Amine, are general compounds that contains a nitrogen atom bonded to carbon and hydrogen atoms.
Amides are organic compounds that contain a carbonyl group and nitrogen atoms bonded to the carbonyl atom

Question 2

What are the formula of amine and amide

Answer 2

R-NH2 and R-CONH2 respectively.

Question 3

Secondary and tertiary amines can be synthesised via

Answer 3

Reductive amination

Question 4

The boiling point of amines increases with

Answer 4

Increasing molecular weight due to the increased London dispersion forces and hydrogen bonding.

Question 5

What is reductive amination?

Answer 5

Reductive amination involves es the reaction of ketone or aldehydes with ammonia or primary amine in the presence of a reducing agent, such as Sodium cyanoborohydride(NaBH3CN)

Question 6

Amines with 1 to 6 carbon atoms are usually soluble in water due to

Answer 6

Hydrogen bonding between the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom and water molecules.

Question 7

What are the methods of preparation of amines

Answer 7

Alkylation of ammonia
Reduction of nitro compounds
Reductive amination

Question 8

Amines react with Acyl chlorides (R-cocl) to form

Answer 8

Amides

Question 9

Amines are bases due to the presence of

Answer 9

A lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom.

Question 10

When treated with excess Br and NaoH quaternary Ammonium salts undergo

Answer 10

Hoffman Elimination to form tertiary amines.

Question 11

Amides are derived from

Answer 11

Carboxylic acids(RCOOH) by replacing the -OH group with an amino group (NH²) and its derivatives.

Question 12

Give examples of the classifications of amines

Answer 12

Primary amines: CH3-NH2
Secondary amines: CH3-NH-CH³
Tertiary amines: CH3-N(CH3)2

Question 13

Give examples of they classifications of amides

Answer 13

Primary amide: CH3-CO-NH2 (Acetamide)
Secondary amides: C4H7-CO-NHC2H5 (N-Ethylbutanamide)
Tertiary amide: CH3-CO-N(CH3)2 (N,N- Dimethylacetamide)

Question 14

Amides exhibit resonance due to

Answer 14

The delocalizatin of electrons from the nitrogen lone pair to the carbonyl oxygen. This delocalization stabilises the amide bond.

Answer 22

The formation of primary amides.

Question 23

Why are amides prevalent in pharmaceuticals?

Answer 23

Due to their stability and ability to form hydrogen bonds with biological molecules. They are often found in drugs that target enzymes and receptors.

Question 24

Halogenoalkanes are also known as

Answer 24

Alkyl halides.
R-X or CnH2n+1

Question 25
