  2. Hydrolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrolysis

    Mechanism for acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of an amide. Upon hydrolysis, an amide converts into a carboxylic acid and an amine or ammonia (which in the presence of acid are immediately converted to ammonium salts). One of the two oxygen groups on the carboxylic acid are derived from a water molecule and the amine (or ammonia) gains the hydrogen ion.

  3. Amide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amide

    Amides do not readily participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Amides are stable to water, and are roughly 100 times more stable towards hydrolysis than esters. [citation needed] Amides can, however, be hydrolyzed to carboxylic acids in the presence of acid or base.

  4. Weerman degradation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weerman_degradation

    The reaction mechanism is that of the related Hofmann degradation. [2] Weermann degradation 1st unsattuered. At first the carbonic acid amide (1) reacts with the sodium hypochlorite. After separate water and chloride an amine with a free bond is built 2. The intermediate (3) is generated by rearrangement. At this point two different mechanisms ...

  5. Amidase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amidase

    In enzymology, an amidase (EC 3.5.1.4, acylamidase, acylase (misleading), amidohydrolase (ambiguous), deaminase (ambiguous), fatty acylamidase, N-acetylaminohydrolase (ambiguous)) is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of an amide. In this way, the two substrates of this enzyme are an amide and H 2 O, whereas its two products are ...

  6. Base-promoted epoxide isomerization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base-promoted_epoxide...

    An excess of the base is employed to account for impurities that consume base and reaction of the base with the ether solvent. Care should be taken when HMPA is added to lithium amide reactions, as it is a known animal carcinogen. Organolithium reagents may also be used; however, lower temperatures are required to avoid decomposition of the ...

  7. Schotten–Baumann reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schotten–Baumann_reaction

    The name "Schotten–Baumann reaction conditions" often indicate the use of a two-phase solvent system, consisting of water and an organic solvent. The base within the water phase neutralizes the acid, generated in the reaction, while the starting materials and product remain in the organic phase, often dichloromethane or diethyl ether .

  8. Acyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acyl_group

    While nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions can be base-catalyzed, the reaction will not occur if the leaving group is a stronger base than the nucleophile (i.e. the leaving group must have a higher pK a than the nucleophile). Unlike acid-catalyzed processes, both the nucleophile and the leaving group exist as anions under basic conditions.

  9. Hofmann rearrangement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hofmann_rearrangement

    Base abstraction of the remaining amide proton gives a bromoamide anion. The bromoamide anion rearranges as the R group attached to the carbonyl carbon migrates to nitrogen at the same time the bromide ion leaves, giving an isocyanate. The isocyanate adds water in a nucleophilic addition step to yield a carbamic acid (aka urethane).
