Chemistry · Amines: Nomenclature, classification, structure, basic character and identification of primary, secondary and tertiary amines and their basic character
Acid anhydride on reaction with primary amine give:
Acid anhydride on reaction with primary amine give:
- A. Amide
- B. Imide
- C. Secondary amine
- D. Imine
Step-by-step solution
Acid anhydrides react with primary amines via nucleophilic acyl substitution. The amine attacks one carbonyl carbon, displacing a carboxylate ion, which then protonates to form the amide and a carboxylic acid. Thus, the main product is an amide.
