Amines are reactive in nature, mainly due to difference in electronegativity between Nitrogen and Hydrogen and, due to lone pair of electrons on Nitrogen. Amines behave like nucleophiles and as good lewis bases and there are various reactions to support this. Different degree of amines differ in their reactivity due to steric hinderance and electronic effects. Aromatic amines are less basic due to + R effect, hence have higher pk value than aliphatic amines. Basic strength of amines also depends on stability of corresponding conjugate acid in aqueous medium.
Conjugate acid of which of the following amines is most stable?

  1. A Ethyl amine
  2. B Triethyl amine
  3. C Aniline
  4. D Diethyl amine
