Which of the following is associated with decrease in pKb value of amines? |
Increase in acidic strength Better electron acceptor Increase in basic strength Better proton donation |
Increase in basic strength |
The basic strength of amines is expressed in terms of dissociation constant Kb. Greater the Kb value, stronger the base. It is more commonly expressed as pKb=-logKb. Hence smaller the value of pKb, more is the basic strength of the amine. |
