May, 2011 - Amines and Amides (Angelo)

Amines:
- Amines are functional groups that have a Nitrogen bonded to Hydrogens or Carbons
- In order to name this, name the carbon chain and add an -amine ending
- Primary Amines have one carbon chain
- Secondary Amines have two carbon chains
- Tertiary Amines have three carbon chains
- The most simple Amine is...

...Methylamine, also known as Aminomethane.


Amides:
- Amides are a functional group with CONO3
- In order to name this, name the carbon chain and add an -amide ending
- The most simple Amide is...

...Ethanamide.

Esters:
- The functional group...
     O
     ||              |
-----C-----O-----C-----
                    |


...is called an Ester.


- One of the simplest Esters is Ethyl Methanoate.

H-----C-----C-----C-----C-----H
                      |        |
                      H      H


Esterification:
- Esters are formed by the reaction of a Carboxylic Acid and an Alcohol.

R-----C-----OH     +     OH-R     ----------->     R-----C-----OR     +     H2O


EXAMPLES:


1. Name the following Ester.
                                                                                                       O

CH3-----CH2-----CH2-----CH2-----CH2-----CH2-----CH2-----CH2-----O-----C-----CH3


Answer: Octyl Ethanoate


2. Name the following Ester.
                                   O
                                   ||
CH3-----CH2-----CH2-----CH2-----O-----CH2-----CH3


Answer: Ethyl Butanoate

Keytones - brian

- a keytone is a hydrocarbon chain with a double bonded oxygen that is not on either end
- follow standard naming rules and add -one to the parent chain

    

Propanone

Example: Draw the structural diagram for the following keytone

                                Heptanone             

Aldehyde's:- an aldehyde is a compound that has a double bonded oxygen at the end of a carbon
- the simplest aldehyde is a methanol (also called formaldehyde)
- follow the standard rules and change the parent chain ending to -al
- be careful when naming aldehyde's and alcohols

Example: draw the structural diagram for the following aldehyde
