Chapter 18.8, Problem DQ
The following sequence of steps is used to create the
- 1. Step 1 would best be performed at a pH below the pKa of ammonium.
- 2. Step 1 would create an imine that undergoes nucleophilic attack by cyanide in Step 2.
- 3. The hydrolysis of the nitrile created in Step 2 would be better performed in base rather than the acid shown.
- 4. Step 4 is a resolution of a racemic mixture that results from Steps 1–3 and does not require a chiral reagent.

Amidation Reactions
Part A
Learning Goal:
To identify characteristics common to all amidation reactions, and to apply these generalities in drawing specific amidation reactants
or products.
Part B
Amidation reactions are condensation reactions. In a condensation reaction, two molecules join with a new covalent bond, and this
results from the removal of a small molecule such as a water molecule. The reactants in amidation are a carboxylic acid and an
amine, and the products are an amide and a water molecule. The carboxylic acid reactant can be of any type. The amine can be
simple ammonia (NH₂). a primary amine. or a secondary amine. It cannot be a tertiary amine because tertiary amines lack the N-H
Aspartame, an amide, is the sweetener commonly used in diet cola.
