Reactions of Amides Amides are formed from the condensation reaction of carboxylic acids or acyl chlorides with ammonia or amines The amide group (CONR2) in these compounds can undergo reactions in...
Azo Compounds Azo (or diazonium) compounds are organic compounds that have an R1-N=N-R2 group They are often used as dyes and are formed in a coupling reaction between the diazonium ion and an alka...
Relative Basicity of Aqueous Ammonia, Ethylamine & Phenylamine Ammonia and amines act as bases as they can donate their lone pair of electrons to form a dative covalent bond with a proton The b...
Preparation of Phenylamine Phenylamine is an organic compound consisting of a benzene ring and an amine (NH2) functional group It can be produced in a three-step synthesis reaction followed by the ...
Basicity of Aqueous Solutions of Amines The nitrogen atom in ammonia and amine molecules can accept a proton (H+ ion) They can therefore act as bases in aqueous solutions by donating its lone pair ...
Production of Amides Amides are organic compounds with an -CONR2 functional group They can be prepared from the condensation reaction between an acyl chloride and ammonia or amine In a condensation...
Production of Primary & Secondary Amines Primary amines are organic compounds that have an -NH2 functional group attached to an alkyl or aryl group Secondary amines have two alkyl or aryl group...
Hydrolysis of Acyl Chlorides, Alkyl Chlorides & Halogenoarenes Hydrolysis is the breakdown of a compound using water The ease of hydrolysis for different organic compounds may differ For exampl...
Mechanism of Addition - Elimination in Acyl Chloride Reactions Acyl chlorides undergo addition-elimination reactions such as hydrolysis, esterification reactions to form esters, and condensation re...
