Question

Draw the condensed structural formula for each of the following amides:

a. propionamide

b. $2-$methylpentanamide

c. methanamide

d. $N,N-$dimethyl ethanamide

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

(part a) propionamide condensed structural formula is, 

(part b) $2-$methylpentanamide condensed structural formula is,

 

(part c) methanamide condensed structural formula is, 

(part d) $N,N-$dimethyl ethanamide condensed structural formula is,

 

Step1: Introduction. (part a)

Amides are carboxylic acid derivatives in which the hydroxyl group has been replaced by an amine. When carboxylic acid reacts with a substrate, a reaction called Amidation occurs

This reaction removes a water molecule as well as a carboxylic acid molecule, but it also combines amine particles.

Step2: Given Information (part a).

To create a condensed structural formula for each of the amides listed below:

propionamide.

Step3: Explanation (part a).

Propionamide's condensed structural formula is,

Step4: Given Information (part b).

To create a condensed structural formula for each of the amides listed below:

$2-$methylpentanamide.

Step5: Explanation (part b).

$2-$methylpentanamide condensed structural formula is,

Step6: Given Information (part c).

To create a condensed structural formula for each of the amides listed below:

methanamide.

Step7: Explanation (part c).

methanamide condensed structural formula is, 

Step8: Given Information (part d).

To create a condensed structural formula for each of the amides listed below:

$N,N-$dimethyl ethanamide.

Step9: Explanation (part d).

$N,N-$dimethyl ethanamide condensed structural formula is,
