Question
The correct order of the basicities of the following compounds is :
, CH3 - CH2 - NH2, (CH3)2NH, 
1 2 3 4
, CH3 - CH2 - NH2, (CH3)2NH, 
1 2 3 4
Options
A.2 > 1 > 3 > 4
B.1 > 3 > 2 > 4
C.3 > 1 > 2 > 4
D.1 > 2 > 3 > 4
Solution
The correct order is :

(1) is most basic because the cation obtained by its protonation (i.e, its conjugate acid) is highly stabilized by resonance.

(4) is least baisc because lone pair of -NH2 gp. intercts with
gp. and thus less available for protonation.
(3) and (4) both are aliphatic anines but (3), a secondary amine is more basic than (2), a primary amine is more basic than (2), a primary amine, due to more + I effect in (3)
