Question:

Amides are weaker bases than corresponding amines. For example, most water-insoluble amines (RNH2) will dissolve in dilute aqueous acids (aqueous HCl, H2SO4, etc.) by forming water-soluble alkylaminium salts (RNH3+X-). Corresponding amides (RCONH2) do not dissolve in dilute aqueous acids, however. Propose an explanation for the much lower basicity of amides when compared to amines.
