How to name acyl halides?
Replacing -ane with -yl
ex. ethanoyl fluoride
How to name anhydrides?
add “anhydride” to the end
ex. C4H6O3 is acetic anhydride
Esters are named as alkyl carboxylates. How do you name them?

Cyclic esters are called _______ and named by adding ________.
lactones; acid lactone
ex. 5-hydroxypentanoic acid lactone
How to name amides?
Replace -ic or -oic with -amide.
ex. N-ethylethanamide
Cyclic amides are called _____. How to name them?
Lactams; Add “acid lactam”
ex. 4-aminobutanoic acid lactam
How to name nitriles?
Add -nitrile to the alkane name.
ex. ethanenitrile
What determines the parent name of a compound?
The functional group with the highest priority.
List the order to priority for the given groups:
Acid
Nitrile
Amide
Aldehyde
Ketone
Alkene
Alkane
Amine
alcohol
Ester
ether
carboxylic acid
carboxylic acid > ester > amide > nitrile > aldehyde > ketone > alcohol > amine > alkene, alkyne > ether

-oic acid; -oate; -al; -one; -ol; -amide; -nitrile
Do amides have very high b.ps & m.ps compared to other compounds of similar weight?
Melting points _______ with increasing # of _____ bonds.
Yes; increase; N-H
List the order of reactivity from most to least with the following functional groups: ester, carboxylate, amide, anhydride, acid chloride
Acid chloride, anhydride, ester, amide, carboxylate
List the order of increasing basicity with the following leaving groups: OR, NH2, Cl, COOR,
Cl, COOR, OR, NH2
Will a reaction occur if the product is more reactive than the reactants?
No.
Carboxylic acid –> acid chloride
SOCl2 or COCl2
Anhydride means without water. So removing 1 mole. of water from 2 mole.s of carboxylic acids forms _______.
an anhydride
