JEE Main2007ChemistryAminesActual
Which one of the following is the strongest base in aqueous solution?
Options
- ATrimethylamine
- BAniline
- CDimethylamine
- DMethylamine
Correct answer
C. Dimethylamine
Step-by-step solution
In aqueous solution basicity order of 1^ , 2^ and 3^ amine with methyl group is 2^ >1^ >3^ In case of aniline lone pair of nitrogen is involved in resonance, so it is weaker base than aliphatic amines. Hence, (C) is correct.
