Which of the following is more basic than aniline?
- ABenzylamine
- BDiphenylamine
- CTriphenylamine
- D-Nitroaniline
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
Benzylamine is more basic than aniline. The reason is that in aniline, the lone pair of nitrogen is conjugated with benzene ring so it is not available readily for others. On the other hand in Benzylamine, nitrogen is not directly attached with ring so lone pairs are not conjugated with ring.
