Question

Anyhdrides are very reactive species and even react with water to undergo hydrolysis.Acetic anhydride is thus very reactive species. Substituted amides, on the other hand have very less reactiviety. They are less reactive than esters. Therefore, given anhydride and Amides, anhydrides are more reactive (K option).

The reaction is given here:

(CH3CO)2O + H2O 2 CH3CO2H

For the given acetamide, 2 distinct H-NMR peaks are observed. The methyls attached to the nitrogens are all identical giving rise to a single peak. The 3 hydrogens attached to the left end of the molecule are all identical and differ from those attached to the Nitrogen. Thus, 2 distinct peaks are observed.

Explanation / Answer
