Arrange the following in decreasing order of their basicity
Options
- AB C A
- BB A C
- CA B C
- DA C B
Correct answer
B. B A C
Step-by-step solution
Basicity +I effect +M effect For option (B) nitrogen lone pair is not part of conjugation it is more easily available for donation so it is more basic. For option (A) OCH ₃ group is +M group which increase the basicity of nitrogen. For option (C) NO ₂ is a electron withdrawing group. It shows -M effect and pull electron from nitrogen of aniline so lone pair on nitrogen are less available for donation.
