Hydrogen bonding in alcohols vs amines
Consider an alcohol and an amine compound with roughly the same molar mass. If I understand correctly, the boiling point for the alcohol is greater for two reasons:
The $\ce{O-H}$ bond is more polar ...

Why are amines more soluble than ethers in water?
For example, diethyl ether ($\ce{C2H5OC2H5}$) has a limited solubility of $6.05\rm~\frac{g}{100~mL}$ water at $25\rm~^\circ C$. However, diethylamine ($\ce{(C2H5)2NH}$) is a lot more soluble in water. ...

Can an amide nitrogen be a hydrogen bond acceptor?
Can $\ce{N}$ (i.e. main chain $\ce{NH}$s of recognised residues in a peptide or protein) be a hydrogen bond acceptor? It is a well known fact that the main chain $\ce{NH}$s can be a hydrogen bond ...
