Chapter 18.7, Problem 18.21P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason should be explained for no similar reaction of quaternary ammonium salt like Bitex with NaOH as that of Benadryl with NaOH which forms free amine, diphenhydramine.

Concept Introduction:

Some amines have medically useful properties. But most of the amines that are used as medicinal drugs are sold as their ammonium salt. That is because most of the amines with long-chain alkyl groups or aromatic groups are water-insoluble, but the ammonium salt is water-soluble. So, ammonium salt can dissolve in blood and transport through the body.

Why is methylamine more basic than aniline?
When reacting an acid halide with amines, it is necessary to use at least two moles of the amine because: A) Acid halides are so unreactive that two moles of the attacking nucleophile are needed B) Using one mole of the amine leads to a neutralization reaction between the two reactants C) Excess amine is needed to react with the hydrohalic acid produced D) The second mole of amine is needed for deprotonation.
Why is the water solubility of a carboxylate salt greater than that of its parent carboxylic acid? A) A carboxylate salt is an ionic compound which is soluble in water. B) A carboxylate salt is less polar than its parent carboxylic acid. C) A carboxylate salt has a lower boiling point than its parent carboxylic acid. D) A carboxylate salt is more readily reduced to an aldehyde than its parent carboxylic acid.
