In my textbook, it lists that there are no reaction between isopropyl amine and NaOH. I don't understand why? I thought -OH would be strong enough to pull an proton from the amine?

Your book is correct. Amines such as isopropyl amine are very weak acids, with PKas around 35, so you'd need a much stronger base than -OH to deprotonate them.

Oh, okay. So, it's because -OH's conjugate base is water, which has a pKa of around 16, which is more acidic than amine?

That's right. You need to compare the pka of the two conjugate acids involved, in this case water and isopropylamine. Since water has a lower pka, you can deduce that the system has an energetic preference for a state involving hydroxide and the neutral amine, rather than water and the deprotonated amine.

Whatever do you mean by that?

1. Literally, to be displayed as a duplicate light or image on something. Technically, moonlight is just sunlight that bounces off the moon and is reflected on the Earth. Though his back was to me, I could see his worried face reflected on the small pool of water.
2. To consider or think back on something with close or careful attention. Stuck in bed with a broken leg, all I could do was reflect on the accident that put me there. After coming to terms with not getting the promotion, Janet reflected upon her boss's criticism and vowed to improve her work.
