Read the passage carefully and answer the questions
Amines are considered as derivatives of ammonia obtained by replacement of hydrogen atoms with alkyl or aryl groups. In nature they occur among proteins, vitamins, alkaloids and hormones. These can be primary, secondary or tertiary depending on the number of hydrogen groups replaced. They can be prepared from nitro compounds, alkyl halides, nitriles, amides etc. Due to unshared pair of electrons they behave as Lewis bases. Influence of the number of hydrogen atoms at nitrogen atom is displayed in physical properties such as solubility, boiling point and chemical reactions including basicity. Basic character of amines is expressed in terms of their \(K_b\) and \(p K_b\) values. Three classes of amines can be distinguished with p-toluene sulphonyl chloride which reacts with primary and secondary ddu amines. Amino group when attached to benzene ring behaves as an activating and ortho para directing group.
Which amine will have highest \(p K _{ b }\) value?
- A \(CH _3 CH _2 NH _2\)
- B \(NH _3\)
- C \(C _6 H _5 NH _2\)
- D \(CH _3 NH _2\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(C _6 H _5 NH _2\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(C_6 H_5 NH_2\) (Aniline) is the least basic due to resonance stabilization of the lone pair on nitrogen by the benzene ring. Least basicity corresponds to the highest \(p K_b\) value. Highest \(p K_b\) value: \(C_6 H_5 NH_2\)
