Rank the following compounds in order of increasing basicity.

- A \(4 < 2 < 1 < 3\)
- B \(4 < 1 < 3 < 2\)
- C \(4 < 3 < 1 < 2\)
- D \(2 < 1 < 3 < 4\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(4 < 3 < 1 < 2\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
As, EDG on benzene increase the basicity and EWG decrease thus when (EWG) is directly attached to benzene nucleus it is, least basic strength. (1) aromatic amine (2) aliphatic \(-\mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{NH}_2\), thus maximum basic strength (3) aromatic but \(-\mathrm{NO}_2\) group…
