Question

Orgo II Tutorial: Amide Synthesis

Answer 1

there's a lot of synthesis methods for amides so will be creating a separate tutorial for amide reactions

\({\bf{Basic~Mechanism:}}\)

Answer 2

using a similar mechanism, you can react an anhydride to get 1 unit of the amide and 1 unit of the carboxylate salt. note: this requires 2 units of the amine.

Answer 3

special case: if you have a cyclic product containing both amine and OH groups

Answer 4

Anyway, that's the end of my tutorial, I hope it was a helpful resource. Source material is Organic Chemistry 12th edition by Solomons, et. al.
