O O O C C NH C 2 NH2 H3C NH2 acetamide benzamide Cyclohexancarboxamide (from acetic acid) (from benzoic acid) (from cyclohexane carboxylic acid) Substituted amides are named by first identifying the substituent(s) with an N- in front of it, then naming the parent amide O O O C CH2CH3 C CH CH C CH3 N 2 3 H3C N N H CH 3 CH2CH3 N-methylacetamide N-ethyl-N-methylbenzamide N,N-diethylcyclohexancarboxamide 199 Esters: Esters are named by first identify the group on the carboxylate oxygen, then identifying the carboxylic acids and replacing the -oic acid with -ate.

The nature of the acyl group: The rate of addition to the carbonyl carbon is slower as the steric demands of the R group increase. Branching at the α-carbon has the largest effect. Increasing reactivity O O O O R C < R C < R C H C C Y C Y C Y < C Y R R R H H H H H Recall from Chapter 4: -CH3 ΔG°= 7.6 KJ/mol -CH2CH3 8.0 R -CH(CH ) 9.2 Keq 3 2 R H -C(CH3)3 > 18 -CH2C(CH3)3 8.4 H 201 -C6H5 12.6 Nature of the leaving group (Y): In general, the reactivity of acyl derivatives correlate with leaving group ability.

R’2N-H R’O-H R’CO2-H Cl-H pKa: 30-40 16-18 4-5 -7 The reactivity of the acyl derivative inversely correlates with their resonance electron-donating ability Resonance effect of the Y atom reduces the O O electrophilicity of the carbonyl carbon. C C R NH2 R NH2 Partial double bond character of the C-N bond makes it harder to break. 202 102 All acyl derivatives are prepared directly from the carboxylic acid Less reactive acyl derivative (amides and esters) are more readily prepared from more reactive acyl derivatives (acid chlorides and anhydrides) acid chloride acid anhydride ester amide y t acid anhydride i v i t c a carboxylic e r acid ester amide g n i s a e r ester c n I amide amide 203 Nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions O hydrolysis C Y= -Cl, -O2CR', -OR', -NR'2 R OH H2O carboxylic acid O aminolysis C Y= -OH, -Cl, -O2CR', -OR' R NR' R'2NH 2 amide O O C alcoholysis R Y C Y= -OH, -Cl, -O2CR' R OR' Carboxylic acid R'OH ester derivative Y= -OH, -Cl, -O CR', O H H 2 reduction Y= -OH, -Cl, -O CR', -OR' -OR', -NR'2 C C 2 H R H R OH H H C Y= -NR2 R NR2 O R'' R'' C C R''-M R R'' R OH R''-M = R''2CuLi R''-M = R''-MgBr, R''-Li Y= -Cl Y= -Cl, -OR' 204 103 21.3 Nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions of carboxylic acids Nucleophilic acyl substitution of carboxylic acids are slow because -OH is a poor leaving group Reactivity is enhanced by converting the -OH into a better leaving groups However, acid chlorides, anhydrides, esters and amides can be prepared directly from carboxylic acids O C R OH carboxylic acid O O O O O C C C C R Cl R O R' R OR' R NR'2 acid chloride acid anhydride ester amide 205 Conversion of carboxylic acids into acid chlorides Reagent: SOCl2 (thionyl chloride) O SOCl2, !"
