33
Q

ester and amide formation

A

The reactions of alcohols and amines with carboxylic acids follow the same pattern—both result in substitution of other groups for the –OH of the acid and formation of water.

34
Q

in ester and amide formation..

A

you literally just move things around to form + H2O

35
Q

Esterification is…(AND what is the catalyst) (esterification is warm)

A

carried out by warming a carboxylic acid with an alcohol in the presence of a strong-acid catalyst, such as sulfuric acid - just switching the last part to form + H20

36
Q

Amide Formation (amide drinking ammonia?)

A

Unsubstituted amides are formed by the reaction of carboxylic acids with ammonia

37
Q

Substituted amides are…

A

produced in reactions between primary or secondary amines and carboxylic acids

38
Q

amide formation steps

A

The first step of the reaction is formation of the ammonium salt; amide formation reactions must be heated to proceed.
The overall reaction is formation of an amide accompanied by formation of water.

39
Q

amide formation - Tertiary amines…

A

do not have a hydrogen on the amine nitrogen and, therefore, do not form amides, generating only the ammonium salt.

40
Q

Esters and amides undergo hydrolysis to…

A

Esters and amides undergo hydrolysis to give back carboxylic acids plus alcohols or amines

41
Q

hydrolysis does what to esters and amides?

A

turns them back into carboxylic acids

42
Q

Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis is simply the reverse of…

A

the esterification

43
Q

Both acids and bases can cause…

Ester hydrolysis using a base such as NaOH or KOH

45
Q

Amides are stable in water, but…

A

hydrolyze with heating in the presence of acids or bases

46
Q

Nylons are…

A compound formed by reaction of an alcohol with phosphoric acid

Q

Phosphoric acid description (phos is like box)

A

Phosphoric acid is an inorganic acid with a striking resemblance to a carboxylic acid; it has three acidic hydrogen atoms, allowing it to form three different anions

Q

phosphoric acid reacts with…

A

alcohols to form phosphate esters. It may be esterified at one, two, or all three of its –OH groups by reaction with an alcohol

51
Q

Phosphate monoesters and diesters are acidic or basic? (die acid)

they are acidic because they contain acidic hydrogen atoms. In neutral or alkaline solutions, they are ions.

Q

phosphoryl group

A

The PO32− group as part of a larger molecule

53
Q

phosphorylation

A

the transfer of a phosphoryl group from one molecule to another

70
Q

N attached directly to carbonyl group is an…(it can be an N or NH2)

A

2 Cs (one part of the carboxyl group) and an OH. Just a carboxyl with an extra CH3 attached
