• All can be converted to the carboxylic acid by acidic or basic hydrolysis.
• Esters and amides common in nature.

Naming Esters
• Esters are named as alkyl carboxylates.
• Alkyl from the alcohol, carboxylate from the carboxylic acid precursor.

Chapter 21 4
Cyclic Esters
• Reaction of -OH and -COOH on same molecule produces a cyclic ester, lactone.
• To name, add word lactone to the IUPAC acid name or replace the -ic acid of common name with -olactone.

Chapter 21 5
Amides• Product of the reaction of a carboxylic
acid and ammonia or an amine.
• Not basic because the lone pair on nitrogen is delocalized by resonance.

Classes of Amides
• 1 amide has one C-N bond (two N-H).
• 2 amide or N-substituted amide has two C-N bonds (one N-H).
• 3 amide or N,N-disubstituted amide has three C-N bonds (no N-H).
=>
Chapter 21 7
Naming Amides
• For 1 amide, drop -ic or -oic acid from the carboxylic acid name, add -amide.
• For 2 and 3 amides, the alkyl groups bonded to nitrogen are named with N- to indicate their position.

Cyclic Amides

Nitriles• -CN can be hydrolyzed to carboxylic
acid, so nitriles are acid derivatives.
• Nitrogen is sp hybridized, lone pair tightly held, so not very basic. (pKb about 24).
=>
Chapter 21 10
Naming Nitriles
• For IUPAC names, add -nitrile to the alkane name.
• Common names come from the carboxylic acid. Replace -ic acid with -onitrile.

Acid Halides
• More reactive than acids; the halogen withdraws e- density from carbonyl.
• Named by replacing -ic acid with -yl halide.

Acid Anhydrides• Two molecules of acid combine with the
loss of water to form the anhydride.
• Anhydrides are more reactive than acids, but less reactive than acid chlorides.
• A carboxylate ion is the leaving group in nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions.

Naming Anhydrides• The word acid is replaced with anhydride.

• Acid > ester > amide > nitrile > aldehyde > ketone > alcohol > amine > alkene > alkyne.

Solubility• Acid chlorides and anhydrides are too
reactive to be used with water or alcohol.
• Esters, 3 amides, and nitriles are good polar aprotic solvents.

Saponification
• Base-catalyzed hydrolysis of ester.
• “Saponification” means “soap-making.”
• Soaps are made by heating NaOH with a fat (triester of glycerol) to produce the sodium salt of a fatty acid - a soap.
• One example of a soap is sodium stearate, Na+ -OOC(CH2)16CH3. =>
