Esterfication!

- Esters are formed by the reaction of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol.

Nomenclature:

- Write down the side chain without the double bonded oxygen

- Have the side chain with the double bonded oxygen end in -oate

- Standard naming rules apply.



Examples:



- Esters also have distictive fruit-like odours!

Heres a video that futher explains Esters:

Amines, Amides, and Nitro!

                                                     Amines, Amides, and Nitro!

1. Amines are functional groups that contain a Nitrogen compound bonded to either Hydrogens and Carbons.Also, amines are alphabetically named. There are three levels of Amines:

• - Primary Amines have 1 carbon bond
• - Secondary Amines have 2 carbon bonds
• - Tertiary Amines have 3 carbon bonds

Ex.

1. Draw the following for

• 1) ethyl methyl amine

• 2) trimethyl amine

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Amides must have a double bonded oxygen and an NH2. The endings for Amides are "-amide".

 

One of the simplest amide is ethanamide.

 

Nitros have the funtional groupd of NO2. Also when naming a nitro, we add "Nitro" to the beginning of the name.
