Hydrocarbon Derivatives Amines, Amides, & Amino Acids
Amines Contain N General Format: RNH2 NH2 = amino group N has bonding capacity of 3 molecules contain H bonded to N = H bonding weaker than hydrogen bonding in alcohols and carboxylic acids Amines smell really, really bad
Table R R’ Shows format RNR” (this is a 3 amine) 1 amines: RNH 2 amines: RNR’ H H
Naming Amines Find name of base hydrocarbon Drop final -e & add -amine Use # in front of name to give location of amino group
H H H HCCNH H H Ethanamine H H H H HCCCNH H H H 1-propanamine
< H H H N H HCCCH H H H 2-propanamine CH2CH2CH2 1,3-propanediamine NH2 NH2
NH2 NH2 CHCH2CH2CH 1,1,4,4-butanetetraamine NH2 NH2
Examples of amines PABA Caffeine Novacain B-vitamins Preparation of dyes
Amides Contain: amino group bonded to C of carbonyl group carbonyl group (>C=O) & amino group (NH2) amino group bonded to C of carbonyl group Links amino acids together
Table R O R’ O = = General Format: RCNH2 or RCNH carboxylic acid: RCOOH replace the OH with NH2 no # needed in name Amide group is always at end of molecule
Naming Amides Find name of alkane with same # of C’s drop the final -e & replace it with -amide
H O = HCCNH2 Ethanamide H O = Propanamide CH3CH2CNH2
Properties of Amides strong hydrogen bonding - so high bp Simple amides are solids at room temp Smaller amides are very soluble in water
Amino Acids Only need to recognize them Don’t need to know how to name them Contain a carboxyl group (-COOH) Contain an amine group (-NH2) Amino group is on C next to carboxyl group
NH2 Amino Acids alanine O = CH3CC OH NH2 O = glycine CH2C OH
