- In naming amines what are the two important rules:
-
1. Identify the carbon-containing groups attached to the nitrogen atom
2. List the carbon-containing groups in alphabetical order and follow them by ‘amine’ -
Name this molecule - ethylpropylamine
-
Name this molecule - diethylamine
- Amides are considered to be amine derivatives of
- carboxyllic acids (one of the carbons connected to the nitrogen contains a double bond to an oxygen atom)
-
Amides are
-neutral
-acidic
-basic - Neutral
- What makes amides so neutral?
- their inability to give up or accept hydrogens.
- Amides are the essential link to forming
- Proteins
- Amide + Water (enzyme) --->
- Carboxyllic acid + AMINE
-
Name this reaction - Hydrolysis of amides
- Outside the body, the hydration of amides requires what catalysts?
- Heat and acid or base.
- Why is an enzyme required inside the body?
- because a person's body tempeterture must stay constant.
