Lecture 10 Flashcards
What is an Amine?
When 1 or more HYDROGENS atoms on AMMONIA are replaced with R group.
What is Amide?
Derivatives of CARBOXYLIC ACIDS.
In an amine, the nitrogen atom has a lone pair of electrons which makes amines what?
- Nucleophilic
2. Basic
In an aliphatic amine what bonding is shown in the nitrogen? What does this mean?
sp3 hybridized so no DOUBLE BONDS.
C-N-C bond angel?
107o.
In an aromatic amine what bonding is shown in the nitrogen? Where is the lone pair?
Nitrogen is sp2 hybridized. Lone pair which occupies the p- orbital is DELOCALISED.
Why is the reactivity between aromatic and aliphatic amines different?
Lone pair undergoes SUBSTIUTION with the pie system (Aromatic Amine)
What are the classifications of amines?
PRIMARY AMINE- ONE alkyl/ aryl group.
SECONDARY AMINE- TWO alkyl/ aryl groups.
TERTIARY AMINE- THREE alkyl/ aryl groups.
Naming Amines- IUPAC 1
P: Remove the ‘e; from alkane name and add ‘amine’.
Eg: Propan-1-amine.
S/T: Name longest chain + shorter chains are named n- alkyl.
Eg: N- ethyl- N- methyl- propylamine.
Naming Amines- IUPAC 2
P: Amino group is a substitute on longest carbon chain.
Eg: 1- aminopropane.
S/T: Shorter substitutes go in front of ‘amino’.
Eg: N-ethyl-N-methyl- aminopropoane.
Naming Amines- Common Naming.
P: Names as alkylamines. Eg: n- propylamine (n- unbranched). S/T: N alkyl groups or simple listed. Eg: N-ethly-N-methyl- propylamine.
Describe the solubility of low molecular weight amines.
Soluble in water.
Soluble in Organic Solvents.
Describe the boiling point of amines.
High boiling points compared to alkanes.
P and S amines have lower boiling points in comparison with alcohols.
Why have alcohols got higher boiling points than amines?
NITROGEN is LESS ELECTRONEGATIVE than OXYGEN.
How many hydrogen bonds can primary, secondary and tertiary amines form?
P- 3
S-2
T- 0
Tertiary amines usually make 0 hydrogen bonds what is the exception, why?
When a bond formed with WATER as it has a SMALL steric hinderance.
When amines react with acids or water what is produced?
Alkylammonium Salt
How are Alkylammonium Salts named?
CHANGING “AMINE” to “AMMONIA
What type of reaction occurs during the reduction of nitro compounds?
Electrophilic Substitution
What classification of amine is the product of the reduction of nitro compounds?
Primary Amine
