– Verified Q&A
1. Nucleophilic Acyl Substitution ANS Amines function as nitrogen
nucleophiles and the amine is acylated to create an amide
2. Nitrile functional group ANS C triple bond N
3. 2,4-diaminobenzoic acid ANS Name this molecule
4. Solubility decreases ANS As the size of the alkyl groups attached to the
nitrile group increases, what happens to the solubility?
5. Pyridine or non-nucleophilic bases ANS What is used to neutralize the acid
byproduct of nucleophilic acyl substitution?
6. Primary amines ANS What do nitriles reduce to?
7. Carboxylic acid and ammonium ion ANS Nitrile + water + acid =
8. 4-amino-2-butanone ANS Name this molecule
, 2
9. Can produce all degrees of amines ANS What is the advantage of alkylation
of amines?
10. Alkyl: 3-4, aromatic: 9 (resonance sharing in aromatic) ANS pKb of alkyl
amines vs aromatic amines
11. Carboxylic acids ANS What are amides derivatives of?
12. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree amines ANS What type of amines can be
produced by reducing amides?
13. Relatively high boiling points ANS Do nitriles have high or low boiling
points?
14. Sn2 reaction of cyanide ion with an unhindered primary or secondary
alkyl halide ANS What is the most common preparation of nitriles?
15. 1,4-diaminobutane ANS Name this molecule
16. Amides ANS Nucleophilic acyl substitution turns ammonia and amines
into?
