AMINES & AMIDES

A little lesson on Amines and Amides!

AMINES:
  • Amines are function groups that contain a NITROGEN COMPOUND bonded to either Hydrogens or Carbons!
There are three types of amines: Primary, Secondary, Tertiary
  1. Primary amines have 1 carbon chain
  2. Secondary amines have 2 carbon chains
  3. Tertiary amines have 3 carbon chains
  4. Alphabetically name the alkyl chains followed by the ending -AMINE
Examples of some amines:
1. On the left: You see a nitrogen compound connected to 3 different carbon groups. You can determine that this is a tertiary amine because it has 3 carbon chains! To name this compound, you see 2 groups of 2 carbons and 1 group of a single carbon chain. Thus, we conclude this amine is called:
Diethyl methyl Amine
2. On the right: This is also a tertiary amine. The name of this compound is trimethyl amine.

Name this compound if you can!

Answer: Tripentyl amine

AMIDES:

  • Amides are functional groups with CONH3



  • Name the alkyl (carbon) chain and add -amide ending
  • The simplest amide is ethanamide:

Now its your turn! Try some of these Amides! The answers will be on the bottom!



Answers: 1) Propanamide
2) 2,2,3 tribromo Butanamide
3) Pentylamine
4) Phenylamine

And heres a pretty well made video concerning all the functional groups we learned so far! Enjoy
