Q

Outline mechanism to form primary amines

A
  1. Salt Formation:
    - React ammonia with a haloalkane to produce an ammonium salt
    - Lone pair on nitrogen allows ammonia to act as a nucleophile in a substitution reaction with a haloalkane
  2. Reversible reaction with ammonia can then occur to produce a primary amine

Q

Preparation of secondary, tertiary and quaternary amines mechanism

A

Production of primary amines is an unsuitable reaction to produce pure primary amine. It produces a mixture of products, including secondary, and tertiary amines.

  • If only excess ammonia is provided, reaction produces only primary amine
  • Reaction to quaternary amine can only occur when excess haloalkane is provided

Secondary:

  • Further reaction of primary amine
    1. Make salt: react with haloalkane
    2. Reversible reaction with ammonia
  • E.g.

Tertiary:
- Further reaction of secondary amine

  1. Make salt: react with haloalkane
  2. Reversible reaction with ammonia
    - E.g.

Quaternary:

  1. Make salt: react with haloalkane
  2. Reversible reaction with ammonia
    - E.g.

Q

Why does preparation of a primary amine not stop with making the primary amine?

A
  • The ethylamine will react with the haloalkane
  • This will form a secondary amine
  • Salt will be made, e.g. diethylammonium bromide
  • Reversible reaction occurs with ammonia
  • Added substitution can occur, and a tertiary amine can eventually form
  • After this, a quaternary amine can also form, e.g. tetraethylammonium chloride
  • This can be achieved reacting with excess haloalkane
  • These are very difficult to convert back into a primary amine

  • Protein monomers have different R groups - nylon monomers are two types, have no variation
  • Protein monomers have stereoisomerism/are chiral
  • Protein monomers have higher melting points/form zwitterions

Q

State whether you would expect hexane- 1,6 diamine to be a stronger or weaker base than 1,4 diaminobenzene.
Explain your reasoning.
(3 Marks)

A
  • hexane-1,6 diamine is a stronger base because:
  • electrons move towards the Nitrogen lone pair
  • This is because the lone pair is partially delocalised around the ring
  • So the electron pair is more easily donated in/H+ is more easily accepted in hexane-1,6 diamine
