Questions and Answers

Amines:

Organic compounds containing nitrogen atoms

Classification of amines

Classification in hybridization: 1° called amino. 2° called Imino, 3° called tertiary amine. 2° & 3° further into symmetrical ( having same alkyl/ aryl groups connected ) and unsymmetrical ( diff groups connected to N atom )

Explain Mendius Reaction.

(1) involves Reduction of alkyl cyanides. (2) 1° amines obtained by reduction of alkyl cyanide with sodium and ethanol. This is mendius Reaction.

Ammonolysis of alkyl halides ( alkylation of ammonia. )

<p>(1) When alkyl halide is heated with alcoholic solution of excess ammonia, it undergoes nucleophilic substitution reaction in which halogen atom is replaced by an amino (-NH2) group to form primary amine. This process of breaking of C - X bond by ammonia is known as ammonolysis. The reaction is carried out in a sealed tube at 373 K. (2) The primary amine obtained in the 1st step is stronger nucleophile than ammonia. .•. it further reacts and create 2°.3°.4° amines. (3) Reactivity : R-I&gt; R-Br&gt; R-Cl (4) R-X + NH3( alc.) ----------&gt; R-NH2 + HX alkyl (excess) 1°amine halide</p> Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Organic Chemistry Overview

  • Organic chemistry focuses on carbon-containing compounds, studying their structure, properties, reactions, and synthesis.
  • Carbon compounds primarily include hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus.

Key Concepts

  • Functional Groups: Key to determining molecular reactivity and properties, including:
    • Hydroxyl (-OH)
    • Carbonyl (C=O)
    • Carboxyl (-COOH)
    • Amino (-NH2)
    • Alkyl groups (C-H chains)

Classes of Organic Compounds

  • Alkanes (Saturated Hydrocarbons):

    • General formula: CnH2n+2
    • Examples include Methane (CH4) and Ethane (C2H6).
  • Alkenes (Unsaturated Hydrocarbons):

    • General formula: CnH2n
    • Characterized by a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C), e.g., Ethylene (C2H4).
  • Alkynes (Unsaturated Hydrocarbons):

    • General formula: CnH2n-2
    • Contains at least one carbon-carbon triple bond (C≡C), e.g., Acetylene (C2H2).
  • Aromatics:

    • Compounds with aromatic rings that have delocalized π electrons, e.g., Benzene (C6H6).
  • Alcohols:

    • Contain hydroxyl (-OH) groups, e.g., Ethanol (C2H5OH).
  • Carboxylic Acids:

    • Have a carboxyl (-COOH) group, e.g., Acetic acid (C2H4O2).
  • Esters:

    • Formed from alcohol and carboxylic acid reactions, e.g., Ethyl acetate (C4H8O2).
  • Amines:

    • Ammonia derivatives, with hydrogen replaced by alkyl or aryl groups, e.g., Ethylamine (C2H7N).

Reaction Types

  • Addition Reactions:

    • Atoms/groups added to double/triple bonds in alkenes/alkynes.
  • Substitution Reactions:

    • Replacement of one atom/group with another, typical in aromatic compounds.
  • Elimination Reactions:

    • Removal of atoms/groups from adjacent carbons, creating double or triple bonds.
  • Rearrangement Reactions:

    • Molecular structures reconfigure to form isomers.

Synthesis and Mechanisms

  • Synthetic Strategies:

    • Retrosynthetic analysis breaks complex molecules into simpler parts.
    • Green chemistry aims to reduce or eliminate hazardous substances in chemical processes.
  • Reaction Mechanisms:

    • Detailed transformations of reactants to products featuring intermediates and transition states.

Importance

  • Organic chemistry is essential in biology, medicine, and materials science.
  • Critical for developing pharmaceuticals, agricultural chemicals, and in biochemistry.
