Acids, Esters, Amines, and Amides

After the surgery, Maureen applies Indermil, which is a type of liquid bandage, to Robert s incision sites. Liquid bandages are tissue adhesives that seal surgical or wound incisions on a patient. Stitches and staples are not required and scarring is minimal. The polymer in a liquid bandage is typically dissolved in an alcohol-based solvent. The alcohol also acts as an antiseptic. 

The polymer in Indermil is a cyano ester, as it consists of a cyano group (C = N) and an ester functional group. Esters have a carbonyl group (C=0), which has a single bond to a carbon group on one side of the carbonyl and an oxygen atom on the

These stringent requirements are demonstrated by few chemicals other than water. It remains to be seen to what extent the limitations can be relaxed for a chemical promoter to be acceptable (to patients and to the regulatory authorities). Enhancers include a wide range of chemical entities that increase skin permeability (Figure 8.9), such as sulphoxides, alcohols, polyols, pyrrolidones, alkanes, fatty acids, esters, amines and amides, terpenes, surfactants, cyclodextrins, water, etc. 

The subsections that follow briefly describe nine different classes of organic compounds organic halides, alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, acids, esters, amines, and amides. 

In addition to the hydrocarbons are nine other important classes of organic componnds to learn organic halides, alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, organic acids, esters, amines, and amides. The hydrocarbon-like part of snch molecules is called the radical the other part is called the functional group. The names of radicals... 

Draw the structures of the functional groups alkene, alkyne, alcohol, haloalkane, carbonyl, ether, aldehyde, ketone, carboxylic acid, ester, amine, and amide. (Section 24.4)... 

D Write, recognize, or otherwise identify (a) the structural unit, or functional group, (b) the general formula, and (c) the molecular or structural formulas and/or names of specific examples of the following classes of organic compounds alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, cycloalkanes, aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, amines, and amides.
