Interpretation:
The equation for the reaction between propanoic acid and ammonia is to be written. The product formed in this reaction and its functional group is to be named.
Concept introduction:
Here, R represents an alkyl group.
The steps to write the IUPAC name of an amide are as follows:
Step 1: Identify the parent chain. The alkyl group from the parent acid represents the parent chain.
Step 2: Number the carbon atoms. Since the parent chain is derived from carboxylic acid, therefore; the name of the parent acid is alkanoic acid.
Step 3: In the case of simple amides, the alkyl group from the parent acid represents the parent chain. Drop the letters
The format to name a simple amide is as follows:
