@prajith: here is a clue dude, u hvae to consider not only lone pair availability on hydrogen but also the approachability to that lone pair. and also solvation energy of the amine should be considered.
Which amine is the weakest base? Please explain so I can understand..
a. CH3CH2NH2
b. (CH3)2NH
c. C6H5CH2NH2
d. C6H5NH2
e. C6H5CH2NHCH3

ANS d
i think as in d the lone pairs of n r delocalised it is d weakest base
I wud go wid B...
d wud hav bn my 2nd choice...
prajith ans kya hai
ya .........i too think so richa.........but was having a confusion.......
Ans :
d) aniline is the weakest base because in this case the electron density present on nitrogen will be donated into the ring so it will be less available to abstract proton
i told B coz Ph has -I effect.....
so basicity decreases....
pata niahi y os ans D?? [2] [7] [12]
wats da source of da question.... r usure on the ans?
yah but here, NH isnt directly attached to the benzene ring.... then how can it b in conjugation?
i may b wrong
