CH3CONH2 is a weaker base than CH3CH2NH2 Why?

Answer»

Due to resonance, the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom in CH3CONH2 is delocalised over the keto group. There is no such effect ip CH3CH2NH2 . Due to reduction in electron density on N – atom of CH3CONH2 , it is a weaker base than CH3CH2NH2
