MCQ
Amongst the following, the most basic compound is:
- ✓Benzylamine
- BAniline
- CAcetanilide
- D$P -$ nitroaniline
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
Benzylamine
Aliphatic amines are stronger bases as compared to aromatic amines.
This is because in aromatic amines, the lone pair on nitrogen is involved in delocalization with aromatic ring.
Benzyl amine is an aliphatic amine, whereas other given amines are aromatic amines.
Hence, among the given amines, benzyl amine $(\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{NH}_2)$ is the strongest base.
