MCQ
Melting points are normally the highest for
- ATertiary amides
- BSecondary amides
- ✓Primary amides
- DAmines
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Primary amides
c
(c) The higher boiling points of amide is because of Intermolecular hydrogen bonding
(c) The higher boiling points of amide is because of Intermolecular hydrogen bonding
$ - H\mathop { - N}\limits_{\mathop |\limits_H } - \mathop C\limits_{\mathop |\limits_R } = O - $$ - H - \mathop N\limits_{\mathop |\limits_H } - \mathop C\limits_{\mathop |\limits_R } = O - $$ - H - \mathop N\limits_{\mathop |\limits_H } - \mathop C\limits_{\mathop |\limits_R } = O - $
Due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding they have high boiling point than amine and amongst amide the order of Boiling point are
Primary $>$ Sec $>$ Tertiary
This is because of alkyl group by which the carbonyl oxygen do not form the hydrogen bond (other molecule) so primary amide have high boiling point and Tertiary amides does not have to form bond with $O$ of other amide and have least $B.P$
