Chapter 14 - Carboxylic Acids, Esters, Amines, and Amides

14.1 - Carboxylic Acids

  • A carboxylic acid is a hydroxylic group, which is connected to a carbonyl group, which has a functional carboxylic acid.
  • The name of the IUPAC is derived from the substitution of thee for oic acid in the alkanoic name.
    • Formal acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, and butyric acid have the common names of carboxylic acids with one to four carbon atoms.

14.2 - Properties of Carboxylic Acids

  • The carboxy group consists of O bisH and C'O polar bonds, making a carboxylic acid soluble in water from one to five carbon atoms.
    • Carboxylic acids dissociate a little like weak acids by providing water with hydrogen ions, which forms carboxylate and hydronium ions.
  • The base neutralizes carboxylic acids and produces water and salt for Carboxylate.

14.3 - Esters

  • An ester replaces the hydroxyl group H of a carboxylic acid with an alkyl or aromatic group.
  • A carboxylic acid reacts to an ester in the presence of a strong acid with an alcohol.
    • A water molecule is removed: oscillation of Carboxylic Acid and oscillation molecule of Alcohol.
  • Esters are called in two terms: alcohol alkyl group and carboxyl name obtained by substituting ic acid for ate.

14.4 - Hydrolysis of Esters

  • Acid hydrolysis takes place by adding water to the carboxylic acid and alcohol production.
    • Esters are subjected to basic hydrolysis, or saponification, to salt and alcohol.

14.5 - Amines

  • Alkyl groups are alphabetically followed by amines in the common names of simple amines.
    • A primary (1°), secondary (2°), or tertiary (3°) amine constitutes a nitrogen atom attached to a single, two or 3 alkyl, or an aromatic group.
  • Water-soluble amines of up to six carbon atoms
  • Ammonia and hydroxide ions are produced as weak in water
    • Ammonium salts are produced when amines react with acids. Ammonium salts are solids, water-soluble and odorless as ionic compounds.

14.6 - Amides

  • Amides are derivatives of carboxylic acids where −afterNH2 or a primary or secondary amine group is replaced with the hydroxyl group.
    • Amides form when ammonia or primary or secondary amines in heat react to carboxylic acids.
  • The names of Amides are substituted by amide for oic acid or ic acid.
    • The N- prefix is used to designate any carbon group attached to the nitrogen atom.
  • A carboxylic acid and ammonium salt are produced by amide hydrolysis by acid.
    • A carboxylate salt and an amine are produced by hydrolysis of an amide by a base.
