Chapter 16, Problem 16.51E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason as to why the boiling points of disubstituted amides are lower than those of unsubstituted amides is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The hydrogen bonding is formed between the electronegative atoms that are already bonded to hydrogen atoms. Mono and unsubstituted amides can form hydrogen bonding with other amides as they have hydrogen atom. Disubstituted amides can form hydrogen bonding only with water.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Draw several molecules of methanamide and show the intermolecular hydrogen bonding that account for the amide’s very high boiling point.
Would you expect N-ethylacetamide or N,N-diethylacetamide to have the higher boiling point
Aromatic amines are _________     neutral because of the polarity     are unique as they do not behave like any of the other amines     acidic, but stronger than the aliphatic amines     basic, but weaker than aliphatic amines
