2. Develop a four point argument to predict whether O or N is thermodynamically more basic in the following structure (See attachment for structural formula)
3. Predict whether the E or Z will be produced by E2 elimination for the following structure (1-bromo-1,2 -diphenylpropane). Use wedge and dashed line of Newman or sawhorse representations to unambiguously show the stereochemistry. (See attachment).
What tells you the mechanism should be E2 not E1?

Answer 2:
Acetamide is a compound with the amide linkage -CONH2.In this compound there are four atoms C,H ,N and O. The four point argument is as follows:
1. O lies in the sixth group of the periodic table and N in the 5th group so it is more electronegative .
2. O in this compound has two lone pairs of electrons while N has one pair of ...
