18 Questions
What type of reaction can form primary amines by the nucleophilic substitution reaction?
Nucleophilic substitution reaction
In the formation of primary amines, what does the excess of ammonia dissolved in ethanol help to maximize?
Amount of primary amine formed
Which intermediate is formed during the first step of the mechanism when a nucleophile attacks the haloalkane?
CH3CH2Br
What occurs in the second step of the mechanism when a second ammonia removes a proton from the intermediate?
Deprotonation
Which type of amine will react with haloalkanes to form secondary amines?
Primary amine
What type of amine will result from the reaction between a secondary amine and a haloalkane?
Tertiary amine
In what type of reaction do amines act as Bronsted-Lowry Bases?
Acid-base reactions
Why are primary aliphatic amines stronger bases than ammonia?
Alkyl groups push electrons towards the nitrogen, making it a stronger base
Why do primary aromatic amines like phenylamine not form basic solutions?
Lone pair electrons delocalize with the ring and make the nitrogen less able to accept protons
What type of salt is formed when amines react with acids?
Ammonium salts
What happens when NaOH is added to an ammonium salt?
The salt is converted back to the amine
Why do ionic salts formed from amines and acids remain soluble in water?
Due to strong ionic interactions
What is the common name for CH3CH2CH2NHCH3?
Diethylamine
How is propan-1-amine named according to IUPAC nomenclature?
Propan-1-amine
In IUPAC nomenclature, how would you name a tertiary amine with three different alkyl side groups?
Trimethylamine
What happens in common naming when an amine has two alkyl groups of different sizes attached to the nitrogen atom?
-N is used before the smaller alkyl group.
When naming a secondary amine in IUPAC nomenclature, how do you handle multiple alkyl groups?
'N-' is added before each alkyl group.
What prefix is used in chemical nomenclature when an amine group is not the highest priority functional group?
-amino
