1
Q
Bases
A
proton acceptor
have a basic nitrogen atom
2
Q
pKah
A
Dissociation of the conjugate acid
The higher the pKah the stronger the base
3
Q
Amines
A
pKah 8-10
protonated at pH 7
more stable more water soluble
4
Q
Amide
A
planar and rigid Delocalisation lowers the energy of the N lone pair Carboxylic acid derivatives Protonation occurs on O N protonation would destroy resonance
