Amines Ques 23

23. The correct order of the basic strength of methyl substituted amines in aqueous solution is :

[2019]

(a) $(CH_3)_2 NH>CH_3 NH_2>(CH_3)_3 N$

(b) $(CH_3)_3 N>CH_3 NH_2>(CH_3)_2 NH$

(c) $(CH_3)_3 N>(CH_3)_2 NH>CH_3 NH_2$

(d) $CH_3 NH_2>(CH_3)_2 NH>(CH_3)_3 N$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 23.(a)

Solution:

(a) Account for the inductive effect, solvation effect (H-bonding.) and steric hinderance for basic character in aqueous solutions

$\hspace{20mm}(CH_3)_2 NH>CH_3 NH_2 > (CH_3)_3 N $
