The increasing order of basicity of the following compounds is :
Options
- A( A ) < ( B ) < ( C ) < ( D )
- B( B ) < ( A ) < ( D ) < ( C )
- C( D ) < ( A ) < ( B ) < ( C )
- D( B ) < ( A ) < ( C ) < ( D )
Correct answer
B. ( B ) < ( A ) < ( D ) < ( C )
Step-by-step solution
The basic nature of amines can be explained on the basis hybridisation. The basic nature order is sp 3 > sp 2 > sp . If the lone pair on nitrogen involved in resonance, then it is less basic than others. In the molecules A, B and D, the nitrogen is sp 2 hybridised. In the pyrrole molecule the lone pair on nitrogen involving in conjugation to get aromaticity. Hence, C is most basic and B is least basic.
