Identify X if the shown compound has a higher pKb value than aniline.(a) OH(b) CH3(c) NH2(d) ClThe question was asked in final exam.Asked question is from Amines Chemical Reactions in chapter Amines of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer» RIGHT answer is (d) Cl

The best I can EXPLAIN: The compound has a higher PKB value than aniline means that it has a lower acidic strength than aniline. This is possible is X is an electron withdrawing group (Cl) that destabilizes the anilinium CATION and REDUCES the basic strength.
