Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Although penicillin G has two amide functional groups, one is much more reactive than the other. Which amide is more reactive and why?
N-Methylpyrrolidine has a boiling point of 81 °C, and piperidine has a boiling point of 106 °C. Tetrahydropyran has a boiling point of 88 °C, and cyclopentanone has a boiling point of 141 °C. These two isomershave a boiling point difference of 53 °C. Explain why the two oxygen-containing isomers have a much larger boilingpoint difference than the two amine isomers
Although penicillin G has two amide functional groups, one is muchmore reactive than the other. Which amide is more reactive and why?
