Order of basic strength
« on: March 12, 2014, 10:07:57 AM »
RNH-> RO-> OH-> CH3COO-

I know this is the order of decreasing basic strength. Please explain using inductive effect and/or polarity.

in a hydrocarbon a more electronegative element say halogen will attract charge towards itself and gain delta negative while the carbon/carbons next to it will gain delta positve.

Please help I am not able to differentiate between them in terms of basic strength using inductive effect.

1. Amids stronger as Hydroxides
2. Alkylgroups have + I Effect so it enhance
3. Electronegative atoms bounded on C decrease

I looked up amide on wiki but couldn't find anything exactly similar here.
