Which of the following is least basic?
Options
- ACH 3 CO N ¨ HC 2 H 5
- BC 2 H 5 3 N ¨
- CCH 3 CO 2 N ¨ H
- DC 2 H 5 2 N ¨ H
Correct answer
C. CH 3 CO 2 N ¨ H
Step-by-step solution
For the given compounds: (1) ; L . P . on Nitrogen is delocalised. (2) ; L . P . on Nitrogen is localised. (3) ; L . P . on Nitrogen is delocalised due to conjugation with both (Hence least basic) (4) CH 3 - CH 2 - N ¨ H - CH 2 - CH 3 ; L . P . on Nitrogen is localised.
