The reaction of a nitrile with an alcohol in the presence of a strong acid forms an N-substituted amide. This reaction, known as the Ritter reaction, doesnot work with primary alcohols.
a. Why does the Ritter reaction not work with primary alcohols?
b. Provide an explanation for why an amide is less susceptible to nucleophilic attack than its corresponding ester.
