Back (Answer)

Aziridine Azetidine Pyrrolidine Piperidine

#12
Front (Question)

What is the unsaturated 5C cyclic amine called?

Back (Answer)

Pyrrole (Aromatic)

#13
Front (Question)

What is the unsaturated 6C cyclic amine called?

Back (Answer)

#14
Front (Question)

What are the opposing factors to consider about rings (formation/reactivity?

Back (Answer)

• probability/entropy = the bigger the chain, the less llikely to form a ring (smaller rings favoured) • ring strain = the smaller the ring, the smaller the bond angle (smaller rings aren’t favoured)

#15
Front (Question)

In general, what is the rate of formation (in order of no of C atoms?

Back (Answer)

5>6>3»4

#16
Front (Question)

What is the reactivity like between the different no of C atoms?

Back (Answer)

5 + 6 rings are usually stable 3 + 4 are susceptible to ring opening
