    68 CHEMISTRY: E. C. FRANKLIN METALLIC SALTS OF AMMONO ACIDS By Edward C. Franklin DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY, STANFORD UNIVERSITY Presented to the Academy, January 9. 1915 The Action of Liquid-Ammonia Solutions of Ammono Acids on Metallic Amides, Imides, and Nitrides. The acid amides and imides, and the metallic derivatives of the acid amides and imides are the acds, bases, and salts respectively of an ammonia system of acids, bases, and salts.1 Guided by the relationships implied in the above statement Franklin and Stafford were able to prepare potassium derivatives of a considerable number of acid amides by the action of potassium amide on certain acid amides in solution in liquid ammonia. That is to say, an ammono base, potassium amide, was found to react with ammono acids in liquid ammonia to form ammono salts just as the aquo base, potassium hydrox- ide, acts upon aquo acids in water solution to form aquo salts. Choos- ing, for example, benzamide and benzoic acid as representative acids of the two systems, the analogous reactions taking place respectively in liquid ammonia and water are represented by the equations: CH6CONH2+KNH2 = C6H5CONHK + NHs. CseHCONH2 + 2KNH2 = CIHsCONK2 + 2NH3. CH6tCOOH + KOH = CIH6COOK + H2O. The ammono acid, since it is dibasic, reacts with either one or two molecules of potassium amide to form an acid and a neutral salt. Having thus demonstrated the possibility of preparing ammono salts of potassium by the interaction of potassium amide and acid amides in liquid ammonia solution, it was further found that ammono salts of the heavy metals may be prepared by the action of liquid ammonia solutions of ammono acids on insoluble metallic amides, imides, and nitrides-that is, by reactions which are analogous to the formation of aquo salts in water by the action of potassium hydroxide on insoluble metallic hydroxides and oxides.

Soc. Rev., 2018, 47,7899 Daniel Kaiser, Adriano Bauer, Miran Lemmerer and Nuno Maulide * It is textbook knowledge that carboxamides benefit from increased stabilisation of the electrophilic carbonyl carbon when compared to other carbonyl and carboxyl derivatives. This results in a considerably reduced reactivity towards nucleophiles. Accordingly, a perception has been developed of amides as significantly less useful functional handles than their ester and acid chloride counterparts.

(Received: 12 April, 2007; published: 30 June, 2007) Abstract: Acryl amide grafted Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (AAm-g-PET) fiber was used for covalent coupling of α-amylase. The amide groups of Poly(acryl amide) were converted to the amine groups by Hofmann degradation reaction. The amine groups were activated by glutaraldehyde, before coupling of the enzyme. The free α-amylase and immobilized α-amylase were characterized by determining the activity profile as function of pH, temperature, thermal stability and storage stability. For the immobilized α-amylase, operational stability was also determined. The immobilization of α-amylase on support caused the optimal reaction pH to shift from 5 to 6. The maximum activity of the free and immobilized enzymes occurred at 0 50 C. Km for the immobilized system was higher than that for the free enzyme. The activity of the free enzyme ended in 30 days, whereas the activity of the immobilized enzyme lasted for 60 days at storage conditions. α-Amylase immobilized on matrix maintained 40% of its original activity after 30 times of repeated use. Introduction α-Amylase is a kind of starch-hydrolyzed enzyme. It is an endo-enzyme that can cut α-1,4 glucosidic linkage of starch molecules randomly to form oligo with different molecular weight such as glucose, cane sugar and straight chain oligo, rapidly reducing the viscosity of liquid and has been used in big volume starch hydrolysis industry [1].

  • Organic Chemistry Test for Amide Group
    Chemistry Organic Chemistry Test for Amide Group General Aim Method To test for amide-containing organic compounds Detection of the presence of amides using special through the chemical detection of amide groups. and specic reagents. Learning Objectives (ILOs) Dene and determine organic compounds containing amide groups theoretically through their chemical structure. Classify organic compounds containing amide groups into aliphatic and aromatic. Compare between amide groups and other functional groups in terms of chemical structures, properties and reactions. Identify amides experimentally. Select the appropriate reagents to dierentiate between amides and other organic compounds. Theoretical Background/Context - Amides are organic compounds that are considered as acid amides. Although the main dominant class of amides is the carboxyamide, phosphamides and sulphamides are also abundant. - Carboxyamindes possess at least one amide group (-CONH-).The functional group a carbonyl group (C=O) and amino group (-NH2) linked together. Amides (R – CON – R2’) are characterized by the possibility of having its R groups as a terminal H in their structure. In other words, the N can be linked with one or two H atoms instead of R groups. - The role that amides play in our real life is controlled by their properties. Amides are used in various applications in dierent elds such as food industry, pharmaceutics, etc. First: Preparation of Amides The simplest form of amide is prepared from ammonia, where a hydrogen atom is replaced by an acyl group. The product is described as a primary amide where its general formula is represented as R – CO – NH2. In the same way, secondary and tertiary amides can be prepared from primary and secondary amines, respectively.

Resonance of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives • The structure and bonding of nitriles is very different from that of other carboxylic acid derivatives, and resembles the C–C triple bond of alkynes. • The carbon atom on the C≡N group is sp hybridized, making it linear with a bond angle of 180°. • The triple bond consists of one σ and two π bonds. 7 Nomenclature—Acid Chlorides • For acyclic acid chlorides: change the suffix –ic acid of the parent carboxylic acid to the suffix –yl chloride; or • When the –COCl group is bonded to a ring: change the suffix – carboxylic acid to –carbonyl chloride. Nomenclature—Anhydrides • Symmetrical anhydrides are named by changing the acid ending of the carboxylic acid to the word anhydride. • Mixed anhydrides, which are derived from two different carboxylic acids, are named by alphabetizing the names for both acids and replacing the word acid with the word anhydride. 9 Composition of Anhydrides • Anhydride means without water. • Removing one molecule of water from two molecules of carboxylic acid forms an anhydride.

  • Chapter 16 – Amines and Amides
    Chapter 16 – Amines and Amides 16.1 Occurrence, Names, and Physical Properties of Amines An amine is basically an ammonia molecule with one or more aliphatic and/or aromatic organic groups attached. Thus they have the generic formulas NH2R, NHR2, and NR3. If a carbonyl group lies between the nitrogen and R the compound is called an amide. Amines are typically named by naming the organic group as a substituent and using the suffix “-amine.” This is the old common system and we will use it for the rest of the course. If an -NH2 group is named as a substituent, it goes by “amino-”. For example: O CH3NH2 (CH3)2NH (CH3)2N(C2H5) CH3CNH2 acetamide methylamine dimethylamine ethyldimethylamine ethanamide Aromatic amines are called anilines. When other groups are also attached to the nitrogen in aniline, they are named as for amines, except that a capital “N” is placed in front to indicate the substituent group is bound to the nitrogen, rather than the aromatic ring. A couple of examples include: NH2 N(CH3)2 aniline N,N-dimethylaniline Aromatic amides are analogous to their aliphatic counterparts. Two amines/amides that you have heard of are: H O O N HO N N n H O H Acetaminophen Nylon-66 N-aceto-4-aminophenol poly(hexamethylene adipamide) 2 Many natural products chemicals (these are species extracted from living systems) contain amino groups. The alkaloids are a class of these materials. If you see a drug end in “-ine” there is a good chance of it containing an amino group. Examples include: codeine, morphine, and quinine (all have pictures in your book on p.
