that figures predominantly in biological chemistry; the
optical isomer.

ions
15
Carboxylic Acids & Phenols as Weak Acids
Fatty acids are carboxylate ions at pH 7
• Fatty acids with less that 12 carbons are soluble in water
• Fatty acids with greater than 12 carbons are amphipathic,
and form micelles when mixed with water.
16
Carboxylic Acids & Phenols as Weak Acids
IUPAC names for carboxylate ions:
• Remove the “-ic acid” from the corresponding conjugate
acids name and replace it with “-ate ion”.

Carboxylic Acids & Phenols, Other Reactions
We have already seen how carboxylic acids and
carboxylate ions can be made from from the hydrolysis of
esters.

Amines
Amines are a nitrogen with one or more carbons attached:
• Amines are classified based on the number of carbons that
are attached to the nitrogen.
• Primary amine (1°): 1 carbons
• Secondary amine (2°): 2 carbons
• Tertiary amine (3°): 3 carbons
N
26
Amines
It is possible for a fourth carbon to attach to the nitrogen
• The nitrogen will take on a positive charge to become an
ion.

Amines
The IUPAC names for 1°, 2°, and 3° amines.
• Create the parent name by picking the longest chain of
carbons that is attached to the nitrogen.
• Replace the “-e” in the parent with the ending “-amine”.
• Number the longest chain from the end that gets you to the
the carbon to which the nitrogen is attached in the fewest
number of carbons.
• Use a numbered prefix to indicate which the carbon in the
longest chain the nitrogen is bonded to.
• If other substituents are attached to the nitrogen, list them
and use the prefix “N-” to indicate that they are attached to
the nitrogen.

Amines
For heterocyclic amines the nitrogen is part of a ring.
• The ring can be either aromatic or not.
• The nucleic acid nucleotide bases are good examples of
hetoercyclic amines
32
Amines
Hydrogen Bonding
• 1° and 2° amines can serve as both a hydrogen bond
donor and acceptor.
• 3° amines can server as a hydrogen bond acceptors, but
not donors.
33
Amines
Hydrogen Bonding
• 4° ammonium ion cannot form hydrogen bonds, but
because they are charged, form ionic bonds:

Amines
The ability to hydrogen bond give amines moderately high
boiling points and high solubilities in water.
35
Amines
Another notable property of amines is their odor.
• Like carboxylic acids, they can also produce foul odor.
• The produce a “fishy” smell.
• Examples of amines, whose names imply their odoriferous
properties, include
H2N
putrescine

NH2
H2N

Amines as Weak Bases
In Unit 6, while discussing the definitions of acids and bases,
we saw that ammonia, NH3, is operationally a base
• That is, when added to water ammonia causes the pH to
rise above pH 7.

Because it is charged, the conjugate acid is even more
soluble that the amine.
• Many drugs are amines and are sold the ammonium salts,
which are more readily absorbed, due to their increased
solubility.

Ephedrine is an example of an alkaloid.
• Alkaloids are alkaline molecules that are derived from
plants.
• “alkaline” and another name for basic.

Amides
•
•
42
When a carboxylic acid reacts with an amine it also
produces and ammonium salt
If the ammonium salt is then heated, an amide is
produced.
Amides
Amides are important in
biochemistry.
• For example, amino
acids are connected
together to form
proteins using amide
groups.

43
Amides
Amides can be hydrolyzed back to carboxylic acids and
amines by heating them in the presence of an acid
44
Stereoisomers
So far we have encountered two different types of isomers.
• Constitutional Isomers
• Stereoisomers
• cis/trans isomers with alkenes and cycloalkanes, that arise from
restricted rotation about bonds.
There is one more type of stereoisomer, which is important in
biochemistry.
• optical isomers
45
Stereoisomers
Optical isomers arise when a carbon atom has four different
things attached to it.
• These carbons are called chiral carbons.
• The a molecule containing a chiral carbon is non
superimposable on its mirror image.
• The molecule and its mirror image are referred to as enantiomers

R and S are another way of distinguishing enantiomers; R is
the rectus (right) isomer, while S is the sinister (evil) isomer!
52
Stereoisomers
When chiral molecules contain more than one chiral carbon,
it is possible for two molecules to be stereoisomers without
being mirror images.
• Such molecules are referred to as diastereomers.

Stereoisomers
Each chiral carbon that a chiral molecule contains doubles
the number of stereoisomers for that molecule.
• Ephedrine has two chiral carbons, it therefore has 2 x 2 = 4
stereoisomers.
• pseudoephedrine is one of 4 stereoisomers.
