Question

Which of the following is the strongest base ? (A)  C6H5NH2  (B)  CH3NH2  (C)  NH3  (D)  CH3CONH2

Basic nature of amine is due to the presence of lone pair of electrons on nitrogen atom which is available for the bond formation with Lewis acid. Due to +I effect of - CH 3 group, CH 3 NH 2 is the strongest base.

Q. Which of the following is the strongest base ?

$C_{6} H_{5} N H_{2}$

$C H_{3} N H_{2}$

$N H_{3}$

$C H_{3} CON H_{2}$

Basic nature of amine is due to the presence of lone pair of electrons on nitrogen atom which is available for the bond formation with Lewis acid. Due to $+ I$ effect of $- C H_{3}$ group, $C H_{3} N H_{2}$ is the strongest base.
