Benzene and Amine amides Amino acids Flashcards
in an amine, the lone pair on the nitrogen can act as a _____
Base (accepts protons)
Aliphatic amines can be made using _____
Haloalkanes
Aromatic amines are made by _____
Reducing a nitro group on a benzene ring
amides are derived from _____
Carboxylic acids
amines are derived from _____
Ammonia (NH3)
What is the 1st step in reducing nitrobenzene to phenylamine
Tin catalyst + conc HCl
What is the 2nd step in reducing nitrobenzene to phenylamine
NaOH
what two groups are on amino acids?
Amino (NH2) and Carboxylic acid (COOH)
which group on an amino acid reacts with alkai?
Carboxylic acid group, forms salt
which group on an amino acid reacts with an acid?
Amino group
amoino acids react with alcohols to form _____
Esters (from COOH group)
what catalyst is needed to form an ester from a amino acid?
strong acid (H2SO4)
How do you test for phenol
Wont react with carbonates (Na2CO3)but will react with bases (NaOH)
Why is phenol more reactive than benzene
the lone pair on the O from the OH donates electron to pi system.
More electron dense in one place.
why is benzene less reactive than cyclohexene
benzene pi system is less electron dense in one place. hexene is very dense in one place, double bond. induces dipole.
