Front (Question)

What are five aspects of amine chemistry on Test 8?

Back (Answer)

• Nomenclature • Structure and physical properties • Preparation • Reactions • Diazonium salts (preparation, reactions)

Front (Question)

What are three general “forms” of amines?

Back (Answer)

• alkyl amines • aryl amines • heterocyclic amines

Front (Question)

What are four “classes” of amines?

Back (Answer)

• primary • secondary • tertiary • quaternary salts

Front (Question)

How do you name a primary amine? (two methods)

Back (Answer)

• named as alkyl amines 2. named by dropping e ending and adding amine to hydrocarbon name

Front (Question)

How do you name a secondary or tertiary amine?

Back (Answer)

named as N-substituted derivatives of primary amine (ex. N,N-dimethyl-1-propanamine)

Front (Question)

How do you name a quaternary salt?

Back (Answer)

named as substituted ammonium ions (ex. isopropylamine -> isopropylammonium bromide)

Front (Question)

How do you name an aryl or heterocyclic amine?

Back (Answer)

Special, common names

Front (Question)

Back (Answer)

Benzene with NH2 substituted

Front (Question)

Draw the structure for sulfanilic acid

Back (Answer)

Benzene with NH2 and SO3H para substituted

#10

Front (Question)

Draw the structure for anthranilic acid

Back (Answer)

Benzene with NH2 and COOH ortho substituted

#11

Front (Question)

Draw the sturcture for p-toluidine

Back (Answer)

Benzene with CH3 and NH2 para substituted

#12

Front (Question)

Draw the structure for anisidine

Back (Answer)

Benzene with NH2 and OCH3 para substituted

#13

Front (Question)

Draw the structure for phenetidine

Back (Answer)

Benzene with NH2 and OCH2CH3 ortho substituted

#14

Front (Question)

What are four aromatic heterocyclic amines?

Back (Answer)

• pyridine • pyrrole • imidazole • indole

#15

Front (Question)

What are two not-aromatic heterocyclic amines?

Back (Answer)

• piperidine 2. pyrrolidine

#16

Front (Question)

Draw the sturcture for pyridine

Back (Answer)

Benzene with sp2 nitrogen (no H) substituted for one of the carbons

#17

Front (Question)

Draw the structure for pyrrole

Back (Answer)

Five-membered ring containing one sp3 nitrogen; double bond alternating between carbons (lone pair on nitrogen continues conjugation)

#18

Front (Question)

Draw the structure for imidazole

Back (Answer)

Five-membered ring containing two nitrogen at 1,3 position; nitrogen at 3 position is sp2 hybridized (it doesn’t have an H)

#19

Front (Question)

Draw the structure for indole

Back (Answer)

Two ring systems [6-member and 5-member sharing 2 carbons]: a benzene ring with an “N-C=C” attached to carbons in 1 and two position. Essentially benzene + pyrrole.

#20

Front (Question)

Draw the structure for piperidine

Back (Answer)

Cyclohexane with sp3 nitrogen (has an H) substituted for one of the carbons.

#21

Front (Question)

Draw the structure for pyrrolidine

Back (Answer)

Cyclopentane with sp3 nitrogen (has an H) substituted for one of the carbons.

#22

Front (Question)

What structural feature is responsible for amine boiling point trends?

Back (Answer)

Polarity of bonds with N

#23

Front (Question)

What is the boiling point trend for primary, secondary and tertiary amines?

Back (Answer)

primary > secondary > tertiary (more Hs = more hydrogen bonding)

#24

Front (Question)

Amines have comparable boiling points to what other functional groups?

Back (Answer)

Aldehydes and ketones.
