MCQ
In case of substituted aniline, the group which decreases the basic strength is
- A$- OCH _3$
- B$- CH _3$
- C$- NH _2$
- ✓$- C _6 H _5$
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
$- C _6 H _5$
(d): The electron withdrawing groups decrease the basic strength of substituted aniline by making the lone pair on nitrogen less available for donation. $- C _6 H _5$ is an electron withdrawing group and thus decreases the basicity of substituted aniline.
