George asks…
What would be the structure of a diethylamine molecule dissolved in diethyl ether?
I’ve literally spent a week trying to figure this out and I’ve come to two possible conclusions:
1- Maybe there is no structural change.
2- It is possible to combine them (double bond b/w N and O, lone pair on the O) so that the formal charge is neutral, but the result is a molecule the likes of which I have never seen before.
Which do you think is correct? Or am I off altogether? Any help with this would be appreciated.
weight loss cardiff answers:
There is no structural change in diethylamine but here’s a hydrogen bonds form between the hydrogen of ether to nitrogen in amine and oxygen of ether to hydrogen of amine . So diethylamine soluble in diethyl ether….
