We have seen two methods for converting a carboxylic acid
Chapter 18, Problem 18.58(choose chapter or problem)
We have seen two methods for converting a carboxylic acid and an amine into an amide. Suppose that you start instead with a dicarboxylic acid such as hexanedioic acid and a diamine such as 1,6- hexanediamine. Show how amide formation in this case can lead to a polymer (a macromolecule of molecular weight several thousands of times that of the starting materials). O O Hexanedioic acid (Adipic acid) 1,6-Hexanediamine (Hexamethylenediamine) OH 1 HO NH2 Nylon 66 H2N As we shall see in Section 29.5A, the material produced in this reaction is the highmolecular-weight polymer nylon-66, so named because it is synthesized from two 6-carbon starting materials.
