Organic Chemistry
AminesWhat is the name of this compound?
A) 1-methyl-5-bromoaniline
B) N-methyl-3-bromoaniline
C) N-methyl-p-bromoaniline
D) 1-bromo-3-N-methylamine benzene

Organic Chemistry
AminesLearning Goal: In the presence of a strong acid, such as HCl, an amide reacts with water to produce a carboxylic acid and an ammonium or amine salt. In the presence of a strong base, like NaOH, the amide reacts to produce ammonia or an amine, and a carboxylic acid salt. Acetaminophen is an analgesic marketed under the brand name Tylenol, among others. (Figure 1) Draw the amine that results from the base hydrolysis of acetaminophen.
