Interpretation:
To arrange the given amides in decreasing order of reactivity towards acid-catalyzed hydrolysis reaction.
Concept introduction:
The normal reaction of an amide with water does not give good yield of product. As amides are least reactive
The reaction of water and amides in presence of acid gives a carboxylic acid as a product. The reaction eqaution is written as,
The reactivity of amide also depends upon the leaving tendency of amine part from acyl group. The weaker the base better will be the leaving group. The basicity of

- Predict the major products formed when the following amines undergo exhaustivemethylation, treatment with Ag2O, and heating.N-ethylpiperidinearrow_forwardDraw the reactions for the following products (any or all) (include all products).arrow_forwardWhat products are formed when all of the amide and ester bonds are hydrolyzed in each of the following compounds? Tamiu [part (a)] is the trade name of the antiviral agent oseltamivir, thought to be the most effective agent in treating inuenza. Aspartame [part (b)] is the articial sweetener used in Equal and many diet beverages. One of the products ofthis hydrolysis reaction is the amino acid phenylalanine. Infants afflicted with phenylketonuria cannot metabolize this amino acid, so it accumulates, causing mental retardation. When the affliction is identied early, a diet limiting the consumption of phenylalanine (and compounds like aspartame that are converted to it) can make a normal life possible.arrow_forward
