Ch 23 Amines Flashcards
Amine classification (1,2,3)
based on how many substituents on the NITROGEN
Amines (undergo inversion/cannot invert)
undergo inversion
Amines (undergo inversion/cannot invert)
undergo inversion
Rank salt–> tertiary amines in terms of pKa
salt
pKa of amines determined by two effects
inductive effects (more substituents make the nitrogen less acidic, and solvent effects( hydrogen bonding more favorable for less substituted amines.
pKa of amines determined by two effects
inductive effects (more substituents make the nitrogen less acidic, and solvent effects( hydrogen bonding more favorable for less substituted amines.
Amines can easily (protonate/deprotonate) in acid conditions
protonate.
The protonated version of an amine is called
the ammonium salt
The protonated version of an amine is called
the ammonium salt
Nitrile dipole
carbon is more positive than the nitrogen
How do polar effects change basicity/acidity of amine compounds?
the closer the positive carbon (from nitrile) is to the amine, the more acidic the protons, because they do not want to be near a positive charge and want to deprotonate.
How do polar effects change basicity/acidity of amine compounds?
the closer the positive carbon (from nitrile) is to the amine, the more acidic the protons, because they do not want to be near a positive charge and want to deprotonate.
aromatic rings (in/de/crease ) basicity of amines
decreases basicity
Cl groups (in/de/crease) basicity of amines
decrease basicity
LAH (2 functions)
(LiAlH4) reduction that removes carbonyl, or reduces nitriles to amines
LAH (2 functions)
(LiAlH4) reduction that removes carbonyl, or reduces nitriles to amines
Quarternary Ammonium salts
All four hydrogens of NH4 are replaced with groups
Alkylation (Normal) amine + ____ =____
amine + alkyl halide (MeBr) = quarternization (R-N-Me3)
How can you avoid quarternization if you want a primary amine or secondary amine?
Gabriel synthesis
How can you avoid quarternization if you want a primary amine or secondary amine?
Gabriel synthesis (protects the amine nitrogen)
