Why tri amine is less basic than dimethyl amine |
|
Answer» However, TRIMETHYLAMINE despite the presence of three -CH3 groups is a WEAKER base COMPARED to it. This is DUE to steric CROWDING which makes the approach and bonding by a proton more difficult i.e. the path is blocked due to the presence of three methyl groups. This decreases its basicity |
