• 1. Acid base produce salt water
• 2. Propanoic acid
• 3. Benzoic acid

3
2. Propanoic Acid Neutralization

• propanoic sodium

9
C. Amidation

• 1. 1o or 2o amine carboxylic acid produces
  amide, a neutralization rxn
• 2. Name parent amine as akyl, use N to indicate
  position, name carboxylic acid as amide
• 3. Ethylamine ethanoic acid
• 4. Methylamine propanoic acid

10
3. Ethylamine Ethanoic acid

• 
  N-ethyl
• 
  ethanamide

11
4. Methylamine Propanoic acid

• 
  N-methyl
•
