Organic Chemistry Practice Test: Nitrogen Containing Organic Compounds — Flashcards

Nitrogen Containing Organic Compounds topics include: Enamines, physical and chemical properties of Amines, aromatic amines preparation and properties, benzene diazonium chloride, preparation of amines and nitro compounds.

Nitrogen forms many organic compounds, including:
Amines: A class of organic compounds that contain nitrogen. Amines are derived from ammonia by replacing one or more hydrogen atoms with an alkyl group. There are three types of amines: primary, secondary, and tertiary.
Amides: Compounds derived from carboxylic acids by replacing the -OH group with -NH2.
Alkaloids: A class of basic, naturally occurring organic compounds that contain at least one nitrogen atom.
Azides: Compounds that contain three nitrogen atoms as a group, represented as (―N3). Most azides are unstable and highly sensitive to shock.
Amino acids: The building blocks of proteins, and they contain both nitrogen and carbon.
Nucleic acids: Including DNA and RNA, contain nitrogen in their base pairs.

Other nitrogen-containing organic compounds include: Amino alcohols, Lactams, Nitro compounds, Imines, Nitriles, Diazonium salts, Hydrazides, Carbazides, Oximes, Heterocyclic compounds such as imidazole, triazole, and tetrazole.
