Chapter 15, Problem 15.44P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Problem 15.43 calls attention to a resonance structure of an amide that accounts for the lowering of the C=O stretch frequency. The resonance structure for methyl acetate (CH3CO2CH3) is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

An ester has O atom having a lone pair on it. The lone pair on O atom participates in resonance with C=O.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Problem 15.43 calls attention to a resonance structure of an amide that accounts for the lowering of the C=O stretch frequency. An analogous resonance structure can be drawn for an ester. Based on the fact that an ester’s C=O stretch frequency is higher than an amide’s, the resonance structure that has a larger contribution toward the resonance hybrid of an ester or an amide is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The C-O single bond is weaker than C=O bond. The C-O single bond character decreases the stiffness of C=O bond. The stretching frequency of C=O band lowers by the Weakening of C=O bond. Oxygen is higher electronegative than nitrogen. The positive charge is less stable on O atom than N atom. In the resonance of amide, the C-O single bond character is more significant than that in ester.
