Condensation Polymers Condensation polymerisation is another type of reaction whereby a polymer is produced by repeated condensation reactions between monomers Natural condensation polymers ...
Amide Formation Amides are organic compounds with an -CONR2 functional group They can be prepared from the condensation reaction between an acyl chloride and ammonia or amine In a condensati...
Aromatic Amine Formation Phenylamine is an organic compound consisting of a benzene ring and an amine (NH2) functional group Phenylamine is sometimes known as aminobenzene and aniline Nitrob...
Amine Basicity The nitrogen atom in ammonia and amine molecules can accept a proton (H+ ion) They can therefore act as Bronsted-Lowry bases in aqueous solutions by donating its lone pair of ...
Reactions of Primary Aliphatic Amines Reactions with water The first few members of the homologous series of primary aliphatic amines are miscible with water However as the hydrocarbon part ...
Amines, Amides & Amino Acids Amines can be thought of as derivates of ammonia, in which one or more of the hydrogens is replaced by an alkyl or aryl group The number of substituted hydro...
Bromination of Phenol Reactions of the aromatic ring in phenols Phenols react more readily with electrophiles compared to benzene This is because one of the lone pairs of electrons on the ox...
