NEETNEET 2019Amines

Solution:

In aqueous solution, electron donating inductive effect, solvation effect (H-bonding) and steric hindrance all together affect basic strength of substituted amines Basic character :
$\underset{{ 2^{\circ}}}{ (CH_3)_2NH } > \underset{{ 1^{\circ}}}{CH_3NH_2 } > \underset{{ 3^{\circ}}}{ (CH_3)_3N }$
