Chapter 16, Problem 16.32E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The chemical reagent that is required for the conversion of amine salt to its corresponding amine is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Amines are defined as those organic compounds which are derived from ammonia. They are formed by the substitution of hydrogen atom of ammonia through alkyl or aryl groups.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The chemical reagent that is required for the conversion of acid chloride to amide is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Amides are formed by the substitution of hydroxyl group $\left(\text{-OH}\right)$ of carboxylic acid by an amine group $\left({\text{-NH}}_2\right)$. In amide functional group, the carbonyl carbon atom is connected to a nitrogen atom. The general formula of amide is ${\text{R-CO-NR}}_{\text{2}}^{\text{'}}$.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The chemical reagent that is required for the conversion of secondary amine to its corresponding salt is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Amines are defined as those organic compounds which are derived from ammonia. They are formed by the substitution of hydrogen atom of ammonia through alkyl or aryl groups.
