It is to be determined whether the given reactant is suitable for a reaction involving ethanamine (
Concept introduction:
Leveling effect refers to the effect of a solvent on the properties of acids and bases. For an acid-base reaction, the strength of the strong acid is limited or leveled by the basicity of the solvent. Similarly, the strength of the strong base is leveled by the acidity of the solvent. With respect to the leveling effect, a solvent is unsuitable for a particular reactant R if R is a stronger acid that the solvent’s conjugate acid (i.e., R has the lower pKa) or if R is a stronger base than the solvent’s conjugate base (i.e., the conjugate acid of R has a higher pKa than the solvent).
