Chapter 2.12, Problem 2.22P
Choose the more basic member of each pair of isomers, and show why the base you chose is more basic.
a. 
SOLUTION
to (a) The first (left) compound is less basic because it is resonance-stabilized (like an amide), and protonation of its NH2 group would destroy that resonance Moreover, the lone pair on the NH: group is shared with the carbonyl group and the —NH2 group carries a partial positive charge The compound on the right is an
