Which of the following is the strongest base?

Options

AC ₆ H ₅ NH ₂
BCH ₃ NH ₂
CNH ₃
DCH ₃ CONH ₂

Correct answer

B. CH ₃ NH ₂

Step-by-step solution

Basic nature of amine is due to the presence of lone pair of electrons on nitrogen atom which is available for the bond formation with Lewis acid. Due to +I effect of - CH ₃ group, CH ₃ NH ₂ is the strongest base.
