Amides are weak nucleophiles but their conjugate bases are string nucleophiles. The amide drawn below can be deprotonated in four possible locations, labeled A-D but two are considerably more acidic than the others. Draw the two different Bronsted Lowery acid/base reactions (using HO- as the BL base) showing the deprotonation at these two locations. Draw all RS with arrows for both conjugate bases but no hybrids. Based on your resonance analysis which location is the most acidic in the molecule? Why is it most acidic? Amides can also be protonated by a strong acid in two different locations. Draw two different conjugate acids for the amide above as well as RS with arrows for each. Based on your resonance analysis which atom is the most basic in an amide?
Please explain the synthesis. Identify SN1, SN2, E1, E2, nucleophiles and ekectrophiles.
The molecule below can be synthesized via two pathways using the SN2 reaction throughthe formation of the C-S bond. For each retrosynthetic pathway, draw the nucleophile andelectrophile and choose with pathway would be more efficient and explain why
Chemistry Please help explain this textbook question: Although N, N -dimethylaniline is extremely reactive toward electrophilic aromatic substitution and is readily substituted by weak electrophiles, such as diazonium and nitronium ions, this reactivity is greatly diminished by the introduction of an alkyl substituent in an ortho position.
Draw the major product of this reaction. Ingore any organic byproducts
In benzoic acid, when it has a deactivating group in position "para" (relative to carboxylate position) , it attracts electrons towards it, weakening the acid and an activator pushes the electrons making the acid stronger.What happens to this benzoic acid if it has a substituent at the "meta" or "ortho" position as an activator or a deactivator? I need an explanation of what happens in each case please

Enolates are formed by deprotonation of an α-carbon hydrogen. Answer the following questions about enolate formation. In the molecule shown, select the α-carbon hydrogen that would be removed to form an enolate when NaOEt is used as a base. Draw the thermodynamic enolate that results for the molecule in Part 1. Draw only the enolate resonance form that includes a formal charge on the α carbon. Be sure to indicate that formal charge as well as any lone pair of electrons in your answer.
