Concept Introduction:
According to the explanations by Bronsted-Lowry, if a species loses a proton then it is an acid whereas if a species receives one proton, then it is base.
If a base receives one proton, then the formed species is a conjugate acid whereas an acid lose one proton, then the formed species is a conjugated base.
Stronger the acid weaker it’s conjugate base and vice versa.
Deactivators are electron withdrawing groups attached to the benzenes that have either positive charge or an atom with high electronegativity. They are meta directors.
Activators are electron donating groups attached to the benzenes that have either electron density that is able to push into benzene ring or a lone pair of electrons. They are ortho–para directing.

If a base receives one proton, then the formed species is a conjugate acid whereas an acid lose one proton, then the formed species is a conjugated base.
Inductive effect: It is an electronic effect occurs due to the difference in the electronegativity of atoms in a bond. This unequal sharing of electrons in the bond leads to a permanent dipole.

- The preceding equation for the protonation of acetamide shows a hypothetical product that is not actually formed. When acetamide is protonated by a strong enough acid, it does not protonate on nitrogen, but at a different basic site. Draw the structure of the actual conjugate acid of acetamide, and explain (resonance) why protonation occurs where it does rather than on nitrogen. Calculate the pKa of this conjugate acid.arrow_forwardwhat is the structure of o-methylphenoxide anion and what is its pKa?arrow_forwardDefine the Mechanism - Conversion of Carboxylic Acids to Amides with DCCarrow_forward
