Which are more basic amides or alcohols?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Alchols have a lower pka than amides which indicates that it is more acidic and hence less basic than amides

The more stable the conjugate base, A^-, is then the more the equilibrium favours the product side (Ka > 1)
The more the equilibrium favours products, the more H⁺ there is....
The more H⁺ there is then the stronger H-A is as an acid....
So looking for factors that stabilise the conjugate base, A^-, gives us a "tool" for assessing acidity.
The larger Ka implies more dissociation of HA and so the stronger the acid.
The larger Ka is, the more negative the pKa so the lower the pKa, the stronger the acid
