Question

Why amides are less basic than amines?

Answer 1

Answer:

pls mark me as brainliest

Explanation:

With an alkyl amine the lone pair electron is localized on the nitrogen. However, the lone pair electron on an amide are delocalized between the nitrogen and the oxygen through resonance. This makes amides much less basic compared to alkylamines.

Answer 2

Answer:

furthermore,in aliphatic amides,the electon

density on the nictogen atom is increased by

electron donating inductive effect.

therefore ,long for on nitrogen atom is easily

available for donation or protonation .as a result,

atomic amines are weaker bases the then aliphatic amines and ammonia .
