Q

Why are ethanol and excess NH3 used when making a primary aliphatic amine?

A

Ethanol: Prevents any substitution reaction of the haloalkane with water
Excess NH3: Reduces further substitution of the amine group to form secondary/tertiary amines

Q

What happens in base conditions when hydrolysing an amide?

A

COOH groups lose H+ to become COO- ions

17
Q

What is the general formula of an alpha amino acid?

A

RCH(NH2)COOH

18
Q

What makes an amino acid alpha?

A

When the COOH group and NH2 group are bonded to the same C

19
Q

How are amino acids named?

A

COOH is the first carbon because it takes priority, x-amino is the prefix

20
Q

When does the NH2 group of an amino acid act as a base?

A

In acid conditions - becomes NH3+Cl-

21
Q

When does the COOH group of an amino acid act as an acid?

A

In base/alkaline conditions - becomes COO-Na+

22
Q

What must an organic molecule have in order to show optical isomerism?

A

A chiral carbon

23
Q

What is a chiral carbon?

A

Carbon bonded to 4 different atoms/groups

24
Q

Condensation polymer definition

A

Monomers joined together by the elimination of a small molecule (water or HCl)

25
Q

What are the 2 ways a polyester can be formed?

A
  1. 2 monomers, 1 with 2 COOH groups and 1 with 2 OH groups
  2. 1 monomer with a COOH group reacts with another monomer with an OH group
26
Q

What do you put before the H2O that goes with a repeat unit?

A

(2n-1) H2O

27
Q

What are the 2 ways polyamides can be formed?

A
  1. COOH with NH2
  2. Acyl chloride with NH2
28
Q

What should you always check after drawing a polymer/repeat unit?

A

That the ends are DIFFERENT

29
Q

Which types of polymer can undergo hydrolysis and which type can’t?

A

Condensation polymers can, addition polymers (alkenes) can’t

30
Q

What are the 2 different conditions that can be used for polymer hydrolysis?

A

Acidic and alkaline

31
Q

What must you remember when drawing monomers after a polymer has undergone acidic/alkaline hydrolysis?

A

Acidic: NH2 will become NH3+
Alkaline: COOH will become COO-
