Amines/Amides

What is the functional group for amine?

R-NH2

What is the functional group for amides?

-C(=O)-NH2

What group is nitrogen located?

Group 5

How many electrons does nitrogen need to have have a full octet?

Nitrogen naturally has 5 electrons, so it will need 3 more valence electrons

How many bonds will it create?

3 single bonds

What type of derivative is amine?

It is a organic derivative of ammonia in which one or more hydrogens have been replaced by some alkyl group

How are amines classified?

By the number of alkyl groups attached to the nitrogen atom

What is a primary amine?

An amine with one hydrocarbon group

What is a secondary amine?

An amine with two hydrocarbon group

What is a tertiary amine?

An amine with 3 hydrocarbon groups

What functional group is present in a primary amine?

-NH2

What amino group has this functional group present? -NH-R

Monosubstituted amino group (Secondary amine)

What amino group has this functional group present? -N(-R)-R

Distributed amino group (tertiary amine)

What suffix do we add to a primary amine?

Drop the “e” and add “amine” at the end

Do we need to locate the position of the nitrogen atom?

Yes, we do. We add the number of what carbon it is attached to the beginning of the parent name

What do we call a compound with two amine groups?

Diamine (do not drop the e)

Do the nitrogens in a diamine have to be attached to the parent chain?

Yes, they have to be

How do we name secondary and tertiary amines?

We will name them as N-substituted primary amine

The -N accounts for the substituent located on the nitrogen

Can amines have isomerism?

Yes they can

What is the solubility limit of amines?

Less than 6 carbon atoms
