Which compound has the greater electron density on its nitrogen atom ?

(a) structure

(b) structure

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

In (a) the nitrogen is attached to a C=C (an enamine), so its lone pair is delocalised into the double bond and the electron density on N falls.

In (b) the double bond is not attached to nitrogen, so the lone pair is localised on N.

The nitrogen of (b) has the greater electron density.
