Give plausible explanation for the following statement: Why are aliphatic amines stronger bases than aromatic amines?

Options

  1. AAliphatic amines are stronger bases than aromatic amines because aromatic amines have resonance due to which t
  2. BAromatic amines have a more stable conjugate acid due to resonance delocalization, which reduces their basicit
  3. CAliphatic amines have a lower molecular mass, leading to increased basicity.
  4. DAromatic amines have a more polarizable nitrogen atom, which decreases their basicity.

Correct answer

A. Aliphatic amines are stronger bases than aromatic amines because aromatic amines have resonance due to which t

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (A) Aliphatic amines are stronger bases than aromatic amines because aromatic amines have resonance due to which the lone pair of electrons on the N atom is delocalized over the benzene ring and is less available for protonation.
