MCQ
Identify the statement about the basic nature of amines.
  • A
    Alkylamines are weaker bases than ammonia.
  • B
    Arylamines are stronger bases than alkyl amines.
  • C
    Secondary aliphatic amines are stronger bases than primary aliphatic amines.
  • D
    Tertiary aliphatic amines are weaker bases than arylamines.

Answer

  1. Secondary aliphatic amines are stronger bases than primary aliphatic amines.

Explanation:

The lone pair of the electron on nitrogen atom present is arylamines is less available for protonation partly due to -I effect of a phenyl group and mostly due to resonance.

Hence aryl amines are weaker bases than alkyl amines.

Also, the secondary amines are a stronger base than the primary amines as the number of alkyl groups attached to the nitrogen atoms are more in secondary alkyl amines.
