Which of the following is more basic than aniline?

Which of the following is more basic than aniline?Which of the following is more basic than aniline?

Options

  1. Abenzylamine
  2. Bdiphenylamine
  3. Ctriphenylamine
  4. Dp-nitroaniline

Correct answer

A. benzylamine

Step-by-step solution

Benzyl amine is more basic than aniline because the benzyl group is an electron-donating group on account of the + I effect. So, it is capable of increasing the electron density of N\mathrm{N} of the −NH2-\mathrm{NH}_2 group. Thus, because of the higher electron density, the rate of donation of a free pair of electrons is increased, i.e., the basic character is higher. Phenyl and nitro groups are electron attractive groups, so they are able to decrease the electron density of N\mathrm{N} of −NH2-\mathrm{NH}_2 group. Hence, they are less basic than aniline. Which of the following is more basic than aniline?
A Caution Benzylamine has localised lone pair therefore it is more basic.
