medium · MCQ · Q-6299D5
The correct order of basicity of aliphatic amines in aqueous solution is:
- A.(CH3)3N > (CH3)2NH > CH3NH2 > NH3
- B.(CH3)2NH > CH3NH2 > (CH3)3N > NH3
- C.(CH3)2NH > (CH3)3N > CH3NH2 > NH3Correct answer
- D.CH3NH2 > (CH3)2NH > (CH3)3N > NH3
Solution
In aqueous solution, the basicity of methyl-substituted amines is affected by a combination of inductive effect, solvation effect, and steric hindrance. For methyl groups, the order of basicity is secondary > tertiary > primary > ammonia, i.e., .
