Chapter 22.4, Problem 6P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The identification of the strong base from the given amine compounds and the reason is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

>

The pKa value is inversely related to the acidic strength of the compound.The stronger acid has a lower value of pKa and the weaker acid has a higher pKa value.

>

An acidic substance in a reaction donates a proton, while base in a reaction accepts a proton.

>

The elimination of a proton leads to the formation of a conjugate base. If the base accepts a proton the species formed is known as conjugate acid.

Rank the attached compounds in order of increasing acidity, and then ranktheir conjugate bases in order of increasing basicity ?
Rank the acidity of the following sets of compounds.
Chitosan is derived from the shells of crustaceans. it is only soluble in an aqueous acidic medium but not in organic solvents. When reacted with phthalic anhydride, it forms an amide. The product is no longer soluble in the aqueous medium but now is soluble in organic solvents.  a) Draw the product of the reaction between chitosan and phthalic anhydride. b) Briefly explain the behaviour change in solubility of the starting material and the final product.
