Stretching Frequency of O-H bond in Carboxylic Acid
Definition
2,500-3,300cm-1
Term
When the single bonded Oxygen atom in an ester pulls electrons over from the C=O (carbon-oxygen double bond) and causes the C=O bond to strengthen, and the IR stretching frequency to increase, this process is called...
Definition
Inductive Effect
Term
Why is the C=O bond weaker in amides than in carboxylic acid, ketones, or aldehydes?
Definition

 

Because the lone pair of electrons on the Nitrogen causes the molecule to resonate, making the overall Carbon-Oxygen bond weaker, and the stretching frequency to decrease.

Term
What is the stretching frequency of the N-H bond in a 1o amine?
Definition

Two signals at 3,400cm-1, one for each N-H bond

 

(less than the stretching frequency of the O-H bond, 3,500cm-1, because N is less electronegative than O)

Term

Term
What is the stretching frequency of the C-N bond in an amine?
Definition

1,000-1,200cm-1

 

(this is slightly less than the C-O bond in alcohols because N is less electronegative than O)
