The direct conversion of a carboxylic acid to an amide is difficult because amines are basic and tend to convert carboxylic acids to their highly unreactive carboxylates. In this reaction the carboxylic acid adds to the DCC molecule to form a good leaving group which can then be displaced by an amine during nucleophilic substitution.
What happens when a carboxylic acid is added to a molecule?
In this reaction the carboxylic acid adds to the DCC molecule to form a good leaving group which can then be displaced by an amine during nucleophilic substitution. DCC induced coupling to form an amide linkage is an important reaction in the synthesis of peptides.
What happens when a carboxylic acid reacts with ammonia (NH3)?
When a carboxylic acid reacts with ammonia (NH 3) a primary amide is formed: When a carboxylic acid reacts with primary or secondary amines, secondary or tertiary amides are produced, respectively. Tertiary amines do not have a hydrogen attached to the nitrogen and therefore do not form amides when mixed with carboxylic acids.
Why is DCC used to convert carboxylic acid to amide?
The direct conversion of a carboxylic acid to an amide is difficult because amines are very basic and tend to convert carboxylic acids to their highly unreactive carboxylate ions. Therefore, DCC (Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide) is used to drive this reaction.
Hydrolysis of Amides
Amides are carboxylic acid derivatives where the –OH of the carboxylic acid has been replaced by –NH2, –NHR, or –NR2 of an amine. Since the reaction between a carboxylic acid and an amine to give an amide also liberates water, this is an example of a “condensation reaction”. [We discuss the nomenclature and synthesis of amides here]. When two amino
Hydrolysis of Amides Using Aqueous Acid: Mechanism
All this is to say that performing the hydrolysis of an amide is not nearly so easy as cleaving an acid halide. The mechanism is also not as simple. So how does the reaction work? As we noted, the first step is the reversible protonation of the amide on oxygen to give the conjugate acid. Protonation of the carbonyl oxygen makes the carbonyl carbon
What About Basic Hydrolysis of Amides?
So that’s acidic hydrolysis. What about basic hydrolysis? It can be done, but it’s typically not easy. If brute force is insisted upon, it’s possible. Hydrolysis of amides with base requires prolonged heating. The whole problem is that in order for a substitution reaction to occur (whether it be SN2 or acyl substitution) you need a decent leaving g
Summary: Hydrolyzing Amides to Carboxylic Acids with Acid Or Base
Acidic hydrolysis of amides is one of those “meat and potatoes” reactions of chemistry that are essential to know and understand. One key to thoroughly understanding the mechanism is to break the reaction down to its six steps (PADPED) and compare it to reactions that share this core mechanistic pathway (e.g. the Fischer Esterification, hydrolysis
Notes
Note 1. Some studies suggest that breakage of the C-N bond does not occur until the secondOH group is deprotonated.

Supplemental: 3 Amides That Are Unusually Easy to Break
Amides That Are Unusually Easy To Break (1) – Acylimidazole As we said, amides tend to be difficult to cleave. However it’s worth looking at some exceptions that help to illustrate the key points here. One particularly easy amide to break is acyl imidazole. There’s still a C-N bond, and there’s still a lone pair on nitrogen. So why is it so easy to
