Chemistry Question on Chemical Reactions
The increasing order of basic strength for the following amines in aqueous phase is (1) aniline (2) triethylamine (3) ammonia (4) triphenylamine
A
$ (1)
B
$ (4)
C
$ (3)
D
$ (3) < ,(1)
Answer
$ (4)
Explanation
Solution
Aromatic amines are weaker bases than aliphatic amines and ammonia due to
delocalization of the lone pair of electrons over the benzene ring
Hence, the order is
Triphenylamine $
