Chapter 18- Amines And Amides

Question 1

Alkaloids

Answer 1

Amines having physiological activity that are produced in plants

Question 2

Amidation

Answer 2

The formation of an Amide from a carboxylic acid and ammonia or an amine

Question 3

Amides

Answer 3

Organic compounds containing the carbonyl group attached to an amino group or a substituted nitrogen atom

Question 4

Amines

Answer 4

Organic compounds containing a nitrogen atom attached to one, two, or three hydrocarbon groups

Question 5

Amine salt

Answer 5

An ionic compound produced from an amine and an acid

Question 6

Heterocyclic amine

Answer 6

A cyclic organic compound that contains one or more nitrogen atoms in the ring

Question 7

Hydrolysis

Answer 7

The splitting of a molecule by the addition of water. Amides yield the corresponding carboxylic acid and amine or their salts

Question 8

Quaternary ammonium ion

Answer 8

An amine ion in which the nitrogen atom is bonded to four carbon groups

Question 9

Solubility of amines

Answer 9

1-5 soluble in water

6 or more not soluble

Question 10

Antihistamine

Answer 10

Reduces the effect of a histamine (ex: allergic reaction or injury)

Question 11

Naming amines

Answer 11

1- name the longest carbon chain bonded to the N atom by replacing the e with amine
2- number the carbon chain to show the position of the amine group and other substituents
2- in secondary or tertiary amines, use the prefix N- to name alkyl groups attached to the N-atom

Question 12

Naming amides

Answer 12

1- identify the corresponding carboxylic acid of the Amide
2- name the Amide by replacing the IOC or ic acid in the name of the corresponding acid by Amide
3- name a substituent on the N atom using the prefix N- and the alkyl name
