I ramble a bit but please read and respond if possible.
Yesterday, while reading KIBC's HTMD procedure, I started thinking maybe I could make AP with ammonium sulfate. Then I remembered Philou said acetone reacts with ammonia to form 'imides and their polymers'. I didnt know what an imide was, so I looked in a dictionary (useful, but with limitations).
I have some questions. Amides are similar to imides, and amines are similar to imines. What is the difference? I know amides/imides have acyl groups, while amines/imines have alkyl groups. Are imides/imines just secondary (i think?) amines? Also, how are 'coordination complexes' formed, like Cu(NH3)4++ and similar?
Any responses greatly appreciated.
