Chem exam 2-2 Flashcards
IUPAC name for methylacetate (ester is split personality - 2 names)
methylethanoate
ester is…(ester in the OC OC)
OCOC
amidation (amidation of a box and ammonia)
making amides - carboxylic acid with NH3, NH2, or NH
amides and amines are basic or acidic?
basic
amide or carboxylic acid higher bp?
amide - really high
amines or amides are more basic?
amines - BC the carbonyl group on amides is not an electron donor
naming amides (am I’d going to have to split the C and N?)
the part attached to the C=O ends in amide, ie - butanamide - anything attached to the NH is a substituent - name it N-akyl, like N-methylbutanamide
naming ethers (ether split in half and name)
it’s just C-O-C - no double bond. Double bond is ester. ethyl methyl ether.
when naming ethers…(ether one side and the other in alphabetical)
neither side has priority - it’s alphabetical - ethyl methyl ether
if a branch is O-CH3 it’s called…
methoxy - oxy at the end
remember - amides will have an….
O - so it may be written like CONH2
naming esters (I ate my ester)
the left side starting with the C=O is the acid, so name it oate. The right side is first.
The right side starting with the C is the akyl group - so methyl, etc.
naming esters
the right side is first, the left side second ending in ate.
difference btwn aldehydes and carboxylic acids
aldehydes have C (double bond) OH, and carboxylic acids have COOH, or C(double bond) O, OH group.
aldehydes end in…(AL-dehydes)
al.
a low pKa is more or less acidic than a high pKa?
a low pKa is more acidic
DON’T forget the C bonded to the..
=O
common name for propanedioic acid?
malonic acid
IUPAC name for carboxylic acid when it’s added to the end of a ring (lord of the rings gets the full box)
has carboxcylic at the end - ie - cyclopentanecarboxylic acid
if you see an amide that looks like this -
C-C - N
||
O
just ignore the O when naming, it’s still just an amide. So ethanamide
amines with 5 carbons are still…
water soluble
geometry of amines is..(amine is in Egypt)
trigonal pyramidal
when naming amines, any substituent off of the N will be named…
N-akyl, ie - N-methyl
amines are acids or bases? (am I on base?)
bases
common naming system (ethyl is so common)
will be ethyl, methyl. IUPAC will be numbering the chain
formic acid (formica HiCOOH)
HCOOH
when the OH group is removed from carboxylic acid, it’s called
oyl, ie - benzoyl group
add dioc to the end of the name if…
there are 2 carboxylic groups, ie butanedioc acid
low weight unsubstituted amides (NH2) are…(state of matter also)
solid (except formamide) and they are soluble in water and organic solvents
