Nitrogen Containing CompoundHard

Question

The basic character of ethyl anime, diethyl amine and trinity amine in chlorobenzene is

Options

A.C2H5NH2 < (C2H5)2NH < (C2H5)3N
B.C2H5NH2 < (C2H5)3N < (C2H5)2NH
C.(C2H5)3N < (C2H5)3NH < C2H5NH2
D.(C2H5)3N < C2H5NH2 < (C2H5)3NH

Solution

In presence of chlorobenzene, hydrogen bonding is not pomsible between the protonated amine and the solvent and thus the stabilization factor (solvation effect) is absent. Hence basicity is explained on the basis of the number of electron releasing groups in an amine
