20.1 – Introduction
20.1.1 – Deduce structural formulas for compounds containing up to six carbon atoms with one of the following functional groups: amine, amide, ester and nitrile
Amine
This is the -NH2 functional group when present on the end of a carbon chain. However, it is also possible to have secondary amines and tertiary amines:
Amide
These are formed when the -OH of a carboxylic acid is replaced by -NH2. Primary, secondary and tertiary amides are all possible.
Ester
These are formed from carboxylic acids when an alkyl group replaces the hydrogen on the COOH group.
Nitrile
Contains a nitrogen atom triple-bonded to a carbon.
20.1.2 – Apply IUPAC rules for naming compounds containing up to sic carbon atoms with one of the following functional groups: amine, amide, ester and nitrile
