Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason should be determined for not forming an amide during the condensation of tertiary amine and carboxylic acid.

Concept Introduction:

Compounds consist of carbon and hydrogen is known as hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are classified as saturated hydrocarbon and unsaturated hydrocarbon.

The compound containsat least one nitrogen atom (with one lone pair of electrons) which is linked with hydrogen atoms or alkyl or aryl groups are known as amine.It is a derivative of ammonia.

Amides: These are the derivatives of carboxylic acids in which the hydroxyl group is replaced by an ammonia or amine.

In carboxylic acid, carbonyl carbon is linked to carbon or hydrogen on one side and on other side linked to a heteroatom such as O, N, S. The general formula is RCOOH, where R is an alkyl group.

How a Carboxylic Acid and an Amine Undergo an Acid–Base Reaction?
An amidification reaction is the reaction of a carboxylic acid with an amine (or ammonia) to produce an amide. Draw the structure of the carboxylic acid from which the following amide could be formed.
Many substitution reactions are initiated by electrostatic attraction between reactants. Show where this attraction arises in the formation of an amide from an amine and an ester.
