Look at the imide, the nitrogen analog of an anhydride below: a) For a neutral imide, will the carbonyl carbon be more (easier to attack) or less (harder to attack) electrophilic than the C of a neutral anhydride? Talk about electronegativties of Nitrogen (imide) vs Oxygen (anyhydride) b) If the imide is hydrolyzed under acidic conditions, which atom, one of the oxygens or the nitrogen, will be protonated? Explain your answer. Talk about pka and keq.
