The most acidic proton and the strongest nucleophilic nitrogen in the following compound respectively, are
Options
- AN a - H ; N b
- BN b - H ; N c
- CN a - H ; N e
- DN e - H ; N a
Correct answer
B. N b - H ; N c
Step-by-step solution
In the given compound most acidic proton will be N b - H . This is because its conjugate base will get resonance stabilised and the most nucleophilic nitrogen will be N c . This is because the lone pair of electrons present on this N is localised over s p 3 -hybrid orbital.
