Nitrogen and Sulfur Containing Groups (5/14)

NH3, but one or more of the hydrogens are replaced by an alkyl group

ends in amine if that is the highest priority. If a higher priority is present, then it starts with amino to show that there is an amine group

always secondary or tertiary

can participate in hydrogen bonding gives a higher boiling point so primary tend to have higher boiling points than secondary and tertiary

they are weak bases alkyl: regular aryl: have an aromatic substituent

simplest aryl because it is a benzene ring with an NH2 group attached

more basic than aryl

the oxygen in a carbonyl carbon is replaced by an N-R3 group

have an alkene and an amine -carbon carbon double bond is also attached to an amine

enamine and imines can easily go back and fourth under acidic or basic conditions

carboxylic acid derivatives with N-R-H group weak bases

R-S-H

R-S-R2

R-C=O-SR2

contain an SH group polar but weak hydrogen bond dipole dipole are main interactions lower boiling points than alcohols, but are more acidic

no acidic hydrogens, so they act as bases, but are not very basic can be part of a ring system EX) biotin and methionine

esterification Thiol + carboxylic acid –> thioester

two sulfurs bonded by covalent bonds R-S-S-R2
