Q. High basicity of $ Me_2NH $ relative to $ Me_3N $ is attributed to :

UPSEEUPSEE 2005

Solution:

Electrons donors are bases. Greater the stabilisation of cation formed by loss of $e^{-}$ more will be basicity of amine.

$2^{\circ}$ amine is more basic than $3^{\circ}$ amine because

$2^{\circ}$ amine is stabilised by hydrogen bonding with solvent molecule.
