Question
Amongst the following , the most basic compound is :
Options
A.benzylamine
B.aniline
C.acetanilide
D.p-nitroaniline
Solution
(a) (b) (c) (d)
In (b) and (d) ,lp of
gp. enters in resonance with benzene ring, hence are not readily available for protonation. In (c) , it enters in resonance with 
gp.(lp - π bond interaction)In (a), lp of -
can′t enter in resonance and so is available for protonation most easily,i.e., why benzylamine is most basic .Create a free account to view solution
