Learning objectives • Introduction to nitrogen compounds • Naming • General properties • Volatility, solubility, intermolecular forces
Types of nitrogen compounds • Amines (1, 2, 3, 4) • Amino acids • Amides • Nitriles
Naming Primary Amines Methylamine aminomethane Ethylamine aminoethane Propylamine 1-aminopropane 2-aminopropane
Secondary Amines dimethylamine dipropylamine
Tertiary Amines trimethylamine
Aromatic Amines phenylamine
Amides • -CONH2 where the -OH of an acid is replaced by -NH2. • Draw the struture of propanamide.
Nitriles • Nitriles contain a -CɼN group, and used to be called cyanides. • Draw the structure ofethanenitrile. (Don’t forget the carbon in the CɼN group is part of the chain) • (Used to be called methyl cyanide) • Draw the structure of 2-hydroxypropanenitrile.
Amino Acids • Contains both an amino group, -NH2, and a carboxylic acid group, -COOH, in the same molecule. • The carbon chain is numbered so that the carbon in the -COOH group is counted as number 1. • Draw the structure of 2-aminopropanoic acid.
Practical • Ammonia • Butylamine (aka 1-aminobutane) • Ethyl 4-aminobenzoate (aka benzocaine)
Questions • What is the trend in solubility for simple amines compared to more complex ones? • What type of molecular interaction helps them dissolve? • Small amines? • Large amines?
Physical Properties - Summary Boiling point Boiling points increase with molecular mass Amines have higher boiling points than corresponding alkanes because of their intermolecular hydrogen bonding Quarternary ammonium salts are ionic and exist as salts Solubility Lower mass compounds are soluble in water due to hydrogen bonding with the solvent. Solubility decreases as the molecules get heavier. Soluble in organic solvents.
