The correct decreasing order of p K_b is
Options
- AI > II > III > IV
- BIII > IV > II > I
- CII > III > IV > I
- DIV > II > I > III
Correct answer
D. IV > II > I > III
Step-by-step solution
Substituent with strong +R effect, +I effect and weaker -I effect increases the basicity. Hence p K_b decreases. Also, alkylamines are stronger bases than arylamines. So, the order is (4).
