something about Amides
« on: June 05, 2007, 09:39:47 AM »
Hi,
I know  how amides react with sodium hydroxide, but only if it's simple amide like Acetamide, or Urea (carbamide). How about more complicated amides? For example Paracetamol.

It's exactly the same. Think of Paracetamol as acetamide with an extra bit tacked on to the nitrogen. The reaction proceeds in the same way.

The same way? When it's simple (CH3COONH2amide - the products are: sodium salt and Ammonia.
 
yes?

But if it's paracetamol :

And generaly - if we have admides like CH3COONH'R?
is it sodium salt as well? But what's going on with this R and nitrogern atom?

Exactly the same. Just replace one of the hydrogens in your NH3 product by the R group.
