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

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+
