Compare the two protons and shown in the following compound and identify which proton is more acidic.

Options:
Answer:
D
Solution:
Removing puts the negative charge on the amino nitrogen : 
Removing puts the negative charge on the amide nitrogen : 
In the first conjugate base the charge is localised on nitrogen. In the second, the charge is delocalised by resonance over the amide nitrogen and the carbonyl oxygen. A delocalised charge is more stable, so the second conjugate base wins and the amide N-H proton is more acidic.
