Transcribed Image Text:Which factors impact the relative stability of the two indicated bases, and in what
way?
NH
NH2
A
B
Expert Solution

Step 1
In the given question we have to relate the stability factor of two indicated bases.
Here, two different bases are given
base A is having negative charge
base B is neutral
As we know, the neutral compound is more stable than any charge compound.
the charge on compound B makes less stable because alkyl group destabilize carbanion. Alkyl group increases electron density through +I effect ( i.e + inductive effect ). generally carbanion stabilizes by electron withdrawing group.
so, the compound B is more stable than compound A because of neutral or no charge and alkyl group increases the basicity by + inductive effect.
