MCQ
Which one of the following is the weakest base?
- A(C2H5)3N
- B(C2H5)2NH
- CC2H5NH2
- DNH3
Explanation:
The +I effect increases with increase in the alkyl group. Therefore the basic strength will be the highest in (C2H5)3N and least in NH3.
Therefore the decreasing order of basic strength in gas phase will be (C2H5)3N > (C2H5)2NH > C2H5NH2 > NH3.
