Amines are aliphatic and aromatic derivatives of ammonia. Amines‚ like ammonia‚ are weak bases (Kb = 10−4 to 10−6). This basicity is due to the unshared electron pair on the nitrogen atom. Classification and nomenclature of amines Amines are classified as primary‚ secondary‚ or tertiary based upon the number of carbon-containing groups that are attached to the nitrogen atom. Those amine compounds that have only one group attached to the nitrogen atom are primary‚ while those with two or three

Phenol‚ also known as carbolic acid‚ is an aromatic organic compound with the molecular formula C6H5OH. It is a white crystalline solid that is volatile. The molecule consists of a phenyl group (-C6H5) bonded to a hydroxyl group (-OH). It is mildly acidic‚ but requires careful handling due to its propensity to cause chemical burns. Phenol was first extracted from coal tar‚ but today is produced on a large scale (about 7 billion kg/year) from petroleum. It is an important industrial commodity as a

aldehyde forms an aldol in equilibrium. Usually two molecules of aldehydes combine with a base two form the aldol‚ which is a compound with an aldehyde with a hydroxyl group attached. During this reaction‚ the enolate ion of the aldehyde‚ which is the nucleophile‚ adds to the carbonyl group of the aldeyde to from the alkoxide ion. The alkoxide ion abstracts a proton from water to yield an aldol. Aldol condensation is when two molecules of an aldehyde combine to eventually form an α‚β–unsaturated aldehyde

How Carboxylic Acids and Alcohols React to Produce Esters: Esters and Ester Production: Esters are abundant and ever present‚ and are the chemical basis of almost all fatty acids and oils. Small esters are responsible for the aroma of fruits‚ perfumes and‚ by extension‚ wines and other alcohols. Esters are formed when a carboxylic acid and an alcohol chemically combine‚ losing a molecule of water in the process. Carboxylic acids are organic molecular compounds that form a homologous series

The Kinetics of α-Chymotrypsin Introduction Chymotrypsin is a protease which cleaves proteins by a hydrolysis reaction‚ it does this by adding a molecule of water to a peptide bond. Although the hydrolysis reaction is thermodynamically favoured in the absence of a catalyst the half-life for a typical hydrolysis reaction by a protease is between 10 and 100 years‚ needless to say it is extremely slow1. Though this is true peptide bonds are hydrolysed within milliseconds in the body in the presence
