Among the following compounds, most basic isA. AnilineB. AcetanilideC. p-nitroD. Benzylamine. |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - D Acetanilide is an amide and hence it is a much weaker base than aniline. Further since electron withdrawing substituents decrease the basicity of amines, therefore p-notro aniline is a weaker base than aniline. Benzylamine is aralkylamine and hence a much stronger base than aniline. Thus benzylamine is the strongest base. |
