#5
Front (Question)

What products are produced when acyl chlorides reacts with water and give the equation

Back (Answer)

R-COCL+H20->R-COOH+HCL A carboxylic and HCL are produced

#6
Front (Question)

What is the organic product produced when acyl chlorides react with ammonia and give the equation

Back (Answer)

R-COCL+NH3->R-CONH2+HCL An amide is produced

#7
Front (Question)

Give the equation when there’s excess ammonia and its reacted with the acyl chlorides

Back (Answer)

R-COCL+2NH3->R-CONH2+NH4CL

#8
Front (Question)

What is the organic product produced when acyl chlorides react with alcohols and give the equation

Back (Answer)

An ester is produced R-COCL+R2-OH->R1-COOR2+HCL

#9
Front (Question)

What is the organic product produced when acyl chlorides react with primary amines and give the equation

Back (Answer)

An N-substituted amide is produced R1-COCL +R2-NH2->R1-CONHR2+HCL

#10
Front (Question)

What is meant by an N substituted amide

Back (Answer)

When it’s only attached to the N-substituted amide

#11
Front (Question)

Give the equation when left over amine is reacted with HCL

Back (Answer)

R1-COCL+2R2-NH2->R1-CONHR2+R2-NH3-CL

#12
Front (Question)

Why are reactions with acid anhydrides preferred than with acyl chloride

Back (Answer)

The reactions are easier to control They don’t produce toxic gas either

#13
Front (Question)

Why tho are reactions with acyl chlorides better

Back (Answer)

They are faster reactions

#14
Front (Question)

Back (Answer)

Two carboxylic acids are produced R1-(CO)2O-R2+H20->R1-Cooh+R2-COoh

#15
Front (Question)

What organic products are produced when acid anhydrides are reacted with primary amides and give the equations

Back (Answer)

R1-COOCO-R2+NH3->R1-CONH2+R2-COOH An amide and carboxylic acid are produced

#16
Front (Question)

What organic product is produced when acid anhydrides are reacted with alcohols and give the equations

Back (Answer)

R1-COOCO-R2+R3-OH->R1-COO-R3+R2-COOH A carboxylic and an Ester is produced

#17
Front (Question)

What is the organic product produced when acid anhydrides are reacted with primary amines and give the equations

Back (Answer)

N-Substitued amides and carboxylic acids are produced R1-COOCO-R2+R3-NH2->R1-CONH-R3+ R2-COOH

#18
Front (Question)

How is aspirin produced

Back (Answer)

2-Hydroxybenzoic acid is reacted with either ethanoic acid,ethanoyl chloride or ethanoic anhydride Under heat and reflux

#19
Front (Question)

Why is Ethanoic anhydride used in the reaction with 2-hydroxybenzoic acid

Back (Answer)

As it’s reasonably fast but it doesn’t produce toxic fumes
