3. Bonding Characteristics of Amines & Amides
Hydrocarbons compounds containing nitrogen are the focus of the chapter 17 on amines and amides.
Amines are carbon-hydrogen-nitrogen compounds, derived form ammonia
Amides contain oxygen in addition to these elements. Amines and amides occur widely in living organisms. .
CHEM 121 Winter 2014

4. Hydrogen bonding in Amines
N-H N hydrogen bonds are weaker than O-H O

6. Hydrogen bonding in Amides
CHEM 121 Winter 2013

7. Odor or smell of Amines
Most other amines are liquids and have odors resembling that of raw fish (strong, disagreeable odors). Foul smell from dead fish and decaying flesh is due to diamines released by the bacterial decomposition of protein. Examples: putrescine and cadaverine.
