Thanks! Would there be any details that I could add to a response to show that amides are higher than carboxylic acids in addition to ladder bonding vs dimer? such as more sites for bonding, etc. I got marked down for not saying something like this last time.
I have been trying to figure out the reason why amines have a lower boiling point than alcohols but amides have a higher boiling point than carboxylic acids.
Looking at hydrogen bond donors and acceptors, it appears that an alcohol has 2 acceptors (the two lone pairs on oxygen) and 1 donor (the...
Wow. Thank you so much!! Yeah I guess that multiplet was tripping me up as I was trying to construct something with 5 hydrogen environments and simultaneously trying to meet the condition for a group of 4 hydrogens (i was going into cyclic compounds, it was messy!)
Just confirming, would you...
I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure out the structural formula which would correspond to these two spectra. I cannot seem to reason why there would be 4H within one of the proton environments. Can anyone suggest something that I am missing? thank you
Quick question regarding some reactions, how can you form a primary alcohol from an alkene? eg form 1-propanol from propene. My understanding is that if you were to hydrate propene in the presence of dilute H2SO4 the hydroxyl group will add to the second carbon (by Markovnikov's rule, at least...
