Practicing Success
Amongst the following, the strongest base in aqueous medium is |
CH3NH2 NCCH2NH2 (CH3)2NH C6H5NHCH3 |
(CH3)2NH |
2º Amines are more basic than 1º, i.e., (CH3)2NH is more basic then CH3NH2. Due to -I-effect of CN group, NCCH2NH2 is less basic than even CH3NH2. C6H5NHCH3 is less basic than both CH3NH2 and (CH3)2NH due to delocalization of lone pair of electrons on the N-atom into the benzene ring. |
