1. Hydrocarbon Derivatives
Amines, Amides, & Amino Acids

3. Amines Contain N General Format: RNH2 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

4. Table R R’  Shows format RNR” (this is a 3 amine) 1 amines: RNH
2 amines: RNR’ H  H 

5. Naming Amines Find name of base hydrocarbon Drop final -e & add -amine
Use # in front of name to give location of amino group

9. Examples of amines PABA Caffeine Novacain B-vitamins
Preparation of dyes

12. 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

13. Table R O R’ O = =  General Format: RCNH2 or RCNH
carboxylic acid: RCOOH
replace the OH with NH2
no # needed in name
Amide group is always at end of molecule

14. Naming Amides Find name of alkane with same # of C’s
drop the final -e & replace it with -amide

15. H  O =
HCCNH2
Ethanamide  H O =
Propanamide
CH3CH2CNH2

16. Properties of Amides strong hydrogen bonding - so high bp
Simple amides are solids at room temp
Smaller amides are very soluble in water

19. 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
