Question: 128
8. If propanamide were treated with water, what product(s) would be observed?
- A. Propanamide
- B. Propanoic acid
- C. Equal concentrations of propanamide and propanoic acid
- D. Propyl propanoate
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
Propanamide is an amide; as such, it is the least reactive of the carboxylic acid derivatives discussed in this chapter. Without strong acid or base, propanamide will not be able to undergo nucleophilic acyl substitution and no reaction will occur.
