Why do you add hydroxide to your hexanediamine solution? what would occur if you did not add it?.

Sagot :

Why is Hydroxide added ?

In the polymerization reaction, the lone pair electrons on the NH₂ groups of hexanediamine attack the C=O groups of the dicarboxylic acid in a nucleophilic substitution reaction as shown in the image.

Hydroxide is added to remove any H⁺ ions present and keep the hexanediamine in the deprotonated form, so that the NH₂ lone pair electrons are available for reaction.

What if you don't add it ?

If hydroxide is not added, the NH₂ groups will get protonated by H⁺  ions present to give NH₃⁺ groups, which cannot react.
