22-3 More Carbonyl Compounds Carboxylic Acids Carboxylic acids use the carbonyl functional group, but have a –COOH structure Carboxylic acids are polar and reactive. Some CAs have 2 or more CA groups…they are called dicarboxylic acids (w/2 CA) Amino acids are the monomer that make up proteins..(a polymer, or large compound made up of repeating links [monomers] in a chain)
Alanine is a typical amino acid. Amino group Carboxylic acid group
Esters • Esters are derived from carboxylic acids. • Esters have a CA group where the hydrogen has been replaced by a hydrocarbon. • Esters are made from CAs and Alcohols.
ESTERS (cont’d) • Esters are responsible for the aroma and tastes in many fruit. (See p 799 mh text.) • Practice naming esters….
Amides • Amides are CA compounds where the –OH is replaced by nitrogen or amino group. • The amide group looks like this • …or possibly like this
Amides (cont’d) • Urea is an important amide….and end product of the breakdown of protein in mammals. • Ammonia, in the system is converted to non-toxic urea for removal from the bodies. • Because of its high nitrogen content, urea is used as a fertilizer or a supplement in food for animals. • Structure of urea.
Naming Amides • Amides are named, based upon the 2 or 3 carbon chains attached. • Amides (R-CO-NH2) take the suffix "-amide", or "-carboxamide" if the carbon in the amide group cannot be included in the main chain. The prefix form is both "carbamoyl-" and "amido-". • Amides that have additional substituents on the nitrogen are treated similarly to the case of amines: they are ordered alphabetically with the location prefix N: HCON(CH3)2 is • N,N-dimethylmethanamide.
Condensation Reactions • Condensation reactions occur when two smaller molecules combine to form a larger one…like the building of proteins from amino acids. • Water is often a product.
