CH_(3)COONH_(2) is a weaker base than CH_(3)CH_(2)NH_(2). Why?

Answer»

SOLUTION :Due to resonance, the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom in `CH_(3)CONH_(2)` is delocalised over the keto group. There is no such EFFECT IP `CH_(3)CH_(2)NH_(2)`. Due to reduction in electron density on N-atom of `CH_(3)CONH_(2)` It is a weaker BASE than `CH_(3)CH_(2)NH_(2)`.
