IUPAC name for methylacetate (ester is split personality - 2 names)
methylethanoate
ester is…(ester in the OC OC)
OCOC
amidation (amidation of a box and ammonia)
making amides - carboxylic acid with NH3, NH2, or NH
amides and amines are basic or acidic?
basic
amide or carboxylic acid higher bp?
amide - really high
amines or amides are more basic?
amines - BC the carbonyl group on amides is not an electron donor
naming amides (am I’d going to have to split the C and N?)
the part attached to the C=O ends in amide, ie - butanamide - anything attached to the NH is a substituent - name it N-akyl, like N-methylbutanamide
naming ethers (ether split in half and name)
it’s just C-O-C - no double bond. Double bond is ester. ethyl methyl ether.
when naming ethers…(ether one side and the other in alphabetical)
neither side has priority - it’s alphabetical - ethyl methyl ether
if a branch is O-CH3 it’s called…
methoxy - oxy at the end
remember - amides will have an….
O - so it may be written like CONH2
naming esters (I ate my ester)
the left side starting with the C=O is the acid, so name it oate. The right side is first.
The right side starting with the C is the akyl group - so methyl, etc.
naming esters
the right side is first, the left side second ending in ate.
difference btwn aldehydes and carboxylic acids
aldehydes have C (double bond) OH, and carboxylic acids have COOH, or C(double bond) O, OH group.
aldehydes end in…(AL-dehydes)
al.
a low pKa is more or less acidic than a high pKa?
a low pKa is more acidic
DON’T forget the C bonded to the..
=O
common name for propanedioic acid?
malonic acid
IUPAC name for carboxylic acid when it’s added to the end of a ring (lord of the rings gets the full box)
has carboxcylic at the end - ie - cyclopentanecarboxylic acid
if you see an amide that looks like this -
C-C - N
||
O
just ignore the O when naming, it’s still just an amide. So ethanamide
amines with 5 carbons are still…
water soluble
geometry of amines is..(amine is in Egypt)
trigonal pyramidal
when naming amines, any substituent off of the N will be named…
N-akyl, ie - N-methyl
amines are acids or bases? (am I on base?)
bases
