Functional Group Chemistry 7 & 8 Flashcards
Describe amide stability
Very unreactive
More stable chemically than esters
L.P stabilised by resonance
What are the different types of amides?
Primary
Secondary
Tertiary
What are some important amides?
Paracetamol
Aspartame
Melatonin
What is the pKa of amides?
35
What are the properties of amides?
High B.Ps
Stable
What happens to B.Ps of liquids as intermolecular forces of solvent increase?
Increase
What is in amides?
H bonding
Strong dipole-dipole interactions
Describe amide structure
4 e- shared between 3 pi orbitals
N = planar = sp2
e- shared unequally = greater density in O
What does the amide have + why is it important?
Restricted rotation around amide bond
= gives rise to cis + trans orientations
How does solvents affect amides?
Rate of rotation is faster in least polar solvent
How are acid chlorides synthesised?
1
COOH + SOCl2 —-> CH3CH2CH2COOCl
What does an acid anhydride react with alcohol to form?
Ester + carboxylic acid
What does an acid anhydride react with H2O to form?
Carboxylic acid
What does an acid anhydride react with amine to form?
Amide + half of acid anhydride + 1 mole of amine
What is the equation for forming N-methylpropanamide?
Propanoic anhydride + 2 CH3NH2 —-> N-methylpropanamide + RNH3+ -OOCR
