AQA A Level Chemistry
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Draw ethylmethylamine is it a primary, secondary or tertiary amine? | Correct drawing and secondary |
Draw tetraethylammonium chloride | |
What are the two routes to producing a primary amine | route 1 react haloalkane with ammonia in excess. Route 2 react haloalkane with a nitrile, then reduce with LiALH4 |
Why must ammonia be in excess when producing a primary amine | to react all of the haloalkane before any further subsitution occurs |
Which route of the 2 routes in producing amines will always produce a mixture | Ammonia reacting with a haloalkane |
Draw a mechanism for the production of methyl amine from ammonia and chloromethane | |
Name the mechanism for the production of amines through both routes | Nucleophillic substitution |
Draw mechansim for the production of ethannitrile from appropriate reactants | |
Why are amines classified as weak bases | They have a lone pair of electrons that can accept a H+ ion |
Which type of amine has the highest base strength | Tertiary amine |
Why do tertiarty amines have the highest base strenght | all 3 alkyl groups push electron density toward the nitrogen |
Which amine has the lowest base strenght | Aromatic amine |
Why do aromatic amines have the lowest base strength | The lone pair is part of the delocalised electrons ring so the electron density on the N atom is decreased |
Give a use of quartenary ammonium salts | Cationic fabric softner |
What reactant is used to produce an amide from an amine | carboxylic acid, acyl chloride, acid anhydride |
Name the mechanism for the production of an amide | Nucleophillic addition-elimination |
Draw N-methly propanamide | |
Draw the mechanism for the production of N-methly propanamide from proponyl chloride and methyl amine |
