Question:

Amide A, δ-valerolactam, is a typical amide with a conjugate-acid pKa of 0.8. The two cyclic tertiary amines B and C also have typical conjugate-acid pKa values. In contrast, the conjugate-acid pKa of amide D is unusually high for an amide, and it hydrolyzes much more rapidly than other amides. Draw the structure of the conjugate acid of amide D, and suggest a reason for both its unusual pKa and its rapid hydrolysis.A conjugate-acid pKa: 0.8 Figure P23.80 CHCH3 B 10.65 A C 10.95 D 5.33
