Physical Properties of Amides Amides are less reactive toward nucleophilic acyl substitution than other acid derivatives.
Physical Properties of Amides Amides are capable of hydrogen bonding.
Physical Properties of Amides Amides are less acidic than carboxylic acids. Nitrogen is less electronegative than oxygen.
Preparation of Amides Amides are prepared from amines by acylationwith: • Acyl chlorides (Table 20.1) • Anhydrides (Table 20.2) • Esters (Table 20.5)
O O RCO RCOH Preparation of Amides Amines do not react with carboxylic acids to giveamides. The reaction that occurs is proton-transfer(acid-base). • If no heat-sensitive groups are present, the resulting ammonium carboxylate salts can be converted to amides by heating. + – + R'NH3 + R'NH2

O O RCNHR' RCOH Hydrolysis of Amides Hydrolysis of amides is irreversible. In acid solution the amine product is protonated to give an ammonium salt. + + + R'NH3 + + H2O H
O O RCNHR' RCO Hydrolysis of Amides In basic solution the carboxylic acid product is deprotonated to give a carboxylate ion. – – + R'NH2 + HO

Mechanism of Acid-CatalyzedAmide Hydrolysis • Acid-catalyzed amide hydrolysis proceeds viathe customary two stages: • 1) Formation of tetrahedral intermediate2) Dissociation of tetrahedral intermediate
O + RCNH2 H2O OH NH2 RC OH First Stage: Formation of Tetrahedral Intermediate • Water adds to the carbonyl group of the amide. • This stage is analogous to the acid-catalyzed addition of water to a ketone. H+
