What I want to do in this video is talk about a bunch of
molecules or classes of molecules that can be derived
from carboxylic acid.
And just to show a specific example I'll show things that
can be derived from acetic acid.
And just as a review, acetic acid looks like this.
The common name, as I just said, is acetic acid, and if
you want to use the systematic name, you look for the longest
chain, which is right over there.
There's two carbons.
So we use the eth- prefix, so it's ethan-, and since this is
a carboxylic acid, it is ethanoic acid.
Now, the derivatives of acetic acid, and we can later
generalize this to all carboxylic acids.
We really just have to change what's going on in this carbon
chain right here.
It won't have to necessarily just be two carbons.
It can just keep going.
It could have benzene rings, whatever, and that would
change the name.
But really, I just want to give you the gist and the gist
of the naming.
So if we were to replace this hydroxyl group with an amine,
and in future videos we'll see how that is done, so let me
just draw the acyl group.
So the acyl group is just that right over there.
And we're just going to keep changing what's bonded to the
acyl group right over here.
So if this is bonded to an amine, so let me draw-- well,
this would be the simplest amine right over here, which
would be NH2.
This thing right here it's called an amide, and if we
were to give this its common name, it would be acetamide.
This particular example would be acetamide.
And if we wanted the systematic name for it, it
would be ethanamide.
You have two carbons right there so it is ethanamide.
Now the natural question is, all amines won't just be
primary, you might have other things other than hydrogens
attached to it, other radical groups, other carbon chains,
so how do you name those?
And so if you had a molecule that looked like this, and
actually, let me just change things up a little bit so that
we diverge a little bit from the ethane route.
So let's say you had three carbons bonded or part of the
acyl group right there.
And then, we are bonded to a nitrogen, which is bonded to a
methyl group and then another hydrogen.
In this case, you start naming with this methyl group right
here and to show that that methyl group is attached to
the nitrogen, you call this N-methyl.
And then you look at the chain that forms the acyl group, the
carbon chain.
We have one, two, three carbons so it is propanamide.
If you had another methyl here you would say N comma
N-dimethyl.
If you had a methyl here and a propyl group here, you
would've called it N-methyl-N-propyl-propanamide.
So hopefully that gives you a sense of amides.
Now, and this is something we've seen before so it's a
little bit of review, if you have something that looks like
this, I'll have it attached to a methyl
group right over here.
We've seen this before.
This is an ester.
And if we have an-- let me actually make the part that
makes it an ester in blue to diferentiate it.
We keep substituting what is attached to the acyl group.
Let me label it.
This right here is called an acyl group.
That right there is an acyl group.
So right over here, for the ester, if we were to give it
its common name, and we've seen this ester
before, it is acetate.
And if we wanted to give it its systematic , name you look
at the longest chain, one, two carbons so it is ethan-- and
you don't call it ethanoic acid anymore.
You call it ethanoate, just like that.
Now, the next one, and we haven't seen this one before,
and it looks complex, but when you really break it down into
its constituents, it's not so bad.
So let's say we have a molecule that looks like this.
So we have one acyl group bonded to an oxygen, which is
bonded to another acyl group.
So it's almost like you have two carboxylic acids that have
been joined together.
And you really do have two acyl groups joined by an
oxygen here.
This is called an anhydride.
And they look very complex, but you just have to realize
they're two carboxylic acids attached to each other and
usually the same one.
Most anhydrides you're going to see in organic chemistry
are formed from the same carboxylic acid, so how ever
many carbons you have on this end, you're normally going to
have on this end.
So the way the name these is you name it just the same way
that you would have named the carboxylic acid, but instead
of writing the word acid, you write the word anhydride.
So this right here would be acetic anhydride.
It's derived from acetic acid.
This right here is acetic anhydride.
Or the systematic name is, we have one, two carbons so it's
ethanoic anhydride.
And just to make things clear, if this molecule instead of
that, if we had something that looked like this, where the
carbons chains on either end had three carbons.
One, two, three, one, two, three.
We would call this propanoic anhydride.
In the unusual circumstance, and it is unusual, where you
would see different carbon chains here, you would list
each of them.
So if this had two here and three here, it would be
ethanoic propanoic anhydride.
But that is very, very unusual.
Normally, these carbon chains on either end of-- or both
acyl will groups will contain the same number of carbons.
Now, the last carboxylic acid derivative that you should
know about, and we've already seen it, are the acyl halides,
and, in particular, the acyl chlorides.
So let me draw it right over here.
So you have your acyl group right there and then it is
bonded to a chlorine and this right here is an acyl
chloride, maybe the most intuitive name.
This right here is an acyl group and then you have a
chlorine, so it's an acyl chloride.
And we've seen this exact acyl chloride.
It's derived from acetic acid, so this is acetyl chloride.
But if you wanted to give it its systematic name, and we
haven't seen it's systematic name before, we have one, two
carbons so it is ethanoyl.
This tells us that we are dealing with an acyl group.
Ethanoyl chloride is how we would name this.
And if this had three carbons, it would
be propanoyl chloride.
So, hopefully, that gives you at least a good introduction
to the differences in structures of all these groups
and an introduction to naming them.
In the next video, we'll talk a little bit about the
relative stabilities and then it'll give you good intuition
on which direction a reaction might go.
Are you more likely to go from amide to an acyl chloride or
from an acyl chloride to an amide or anything in between?
