Leaving group amide hydrolysis reactions

Conversion of Amides into Carboxylic Acids Hydrolysis Amides undergo hydrolysis to yield carboxylic acids plus ammonia or an amine on heating in either aqueous acid or aqueous base. The conditions required for amide hydrolysis are more severe than those required for the hydrolysis of add chlorides or esters but the mechanisms are similar. Acidic hydrolysis reaction occurs by nucleophilic addition of water to the protonated amide, followed by transfer of a proton from oxygen to nitrogen to make the nitrogen a better leaving group and subsequent elimination. The steps are reversible, with the equilibrium shifted toward product by protonation of NH3 in the final step. [Pg.814]

Basic hydrolysis occurs by nucleophilic addition of OH- to the amide carbonyl group, followed by elimination of amide ion (-NH2) and subsequent deprotonation of the initially formed carboxylic acid by amide ion. The steps are reversible, with the equilibrium shifted toward product by the final deprotonation of the carboxylic acid. Basic hydrolysis is substantially more difficult than the analogous acid-catalyzed reaction because amide ion is a very poor leaving group, making the elimination step difficult. [Pg.815]

In HO -catalyzed hydrolysis (specific base catalyzed hydrolysis), the tetrahedral intermediate is formed by the addition of a nucleophilic HO ion (Fig. 3.1, Pathway b). This reaction is irreversible for both esters and amides, since the carboxylate ion formed is deprotonated in basic solution and, hence, is not receptive to attack by the nucleophilic alcohol, phenol, or amine. The reactivity of the carboxylic acid derivative toward a particular nucleophile depends on a) the relative electron-donating or -withdrawing power of the substituents on the carbonyl group, and b) the relative ability of the -OR or -NR R" moiety to act as a leaving group. Thus, electronegative substituents accelerate hydrolysis, and esters are more readily hydrolyzed than amides. [Pg.66]

The sequence is completed by base hydrolysis of the amide and removal of the protecting group. This is much the same as an ester hydrolysis, and needs to include as last stage the ionisation of acetic acid since RNH is a poor leaving group, it is this ionisation that allows the reaction to proceed. [Pg.628]

If the reaction were the hydrolysis of an amide, you might remember from Chapter 13 that third-order kinetics are often observed for the expulsion of such bad leaving groups and that this extra catalysis makes it worthwhile using concentrated base. Again, someone had to find out that (1) the slow step is now the decomposition of the tetrahedral intermediate (2) there are third-order kinetics involving two molecules of hydroxide and (3) the first molecule acts as a nucleophile and the second as a base. [Pg.1080]
