Acid Derivatives
• All can be converted to the carboxylic
acid by acidic or basic hydrolysis.
• Esters and amides common in nature.

Naming Esters
• Esters are named as alkyl carboxylates.
• Alkyl from the alcohol, carboxylate from
the carboxylic acid precursor.

Cyclic Esters
• Reaction of -OH and -COOH on same
molecule produces a cyclic ester, lactone.
• To name, add word lactone to the IUPAC
acid name or replace the -ic acid of
common name with -olactone.

Amides
• Product of the reaction of a carboxylic
acid and ammonia or an amine.
• Not basic because the lone pair on
nitrogen is delocalized by _resonance.

Classes of Amides
• 1 amide has one C-N bond (two N-H).
• 2 amide or N-substituted amide has
two C-N bonds (one N-H).
• 3 amide or N,N-disubstituted amide
has three C-N bonds (no N-H).
=>
Chapter 21
6
Naming Amides
• For 1 amide, drop -ic or -oic acid from
the carboxylic acid name, add -amide.
• For 2 and 3 amides, the alkyl groups
bonded to nitrogen are named with Nto indicate their position.

Cyclic Amides
• Reaction of -NH2 and -COOH on same
molecule produces a cyclic amide, lactam.
• To name, add word lactam to the IUPAC
acid name or replace the -ic acid of
common name with -olactam.

Nitriles
• -CN can be hydrolyzed to carboxylic
acid, so nitriles are acid derivatives.
• Nitrogen is sp hybridized, lone pair tightly
held, so not very basic. (pKb about 24).
=>
Chapter 21
9
Naming Nitriles
• For IUPAC names, add -nitrile to the alkane
name.
• Common names come from the carboxylic
acid. Replace -ic acid with -onitrile.

Acid Halides
• More reactive than acids; the halogen
withdraws e- density from carbonyl.
• Named by replacing -ic acid with -yl halide.

Acid Anhydrides
• Two molecules of acid combine with the
loss of water to form the anhydride.
• Anhydrides are more reactive than acids,
but less reactive than acid chlorides.
• A carboxylate ion is the leaving group in
nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions.

Naming Anhydrides

priority determines the parent name.

Solubility
• Acid chlorides and anhydrides are too
reactive to be used with water or alcohol.
• Esters, 3 amides, and nitriles are good
polar aprotic solvents.
• Solvents commonly used in organic
reactions:
Ethyl acetate
Dimethylformamide (DMF)
Acetonitrile

tetrahedral intermediate.

with no acid or base catalyst.

Saponification
• Base-catalyzed hydrolysis of ester.
• “Saponification” means “soap-making.”
• Soaps are made by heating NaOH with
a fat (triester of glycerol) to produce the
sodium salt of a fatty acid - a soap.
• One example of a soap is sodium
stearate, Na+ -OOC(CH2)16CH3.

Hydrolysis of Amides

aqueous NaOH is required.

better yield than acetyl chloride.
