The correct order in aqueous medium of basic strength in case of methyl substituted amines is :

  1. A \(Me _2 NH > MeNH _2 > Me _3 N > NH _3\)
  2. B \(Me _2 NH > Me _3 N > MeNH _2 > NH _3\)
  3. C \(NH _3 > Me _3 N > MeNH _2 > Me _2 NH\)
  4. D \(Me _3 N > Me _2 NH > MeNH _2 > NH _3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(Me _2 NH > MeNH _2 > Me _3 N > NH _3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In aqueous medium basic strength is dependent on electron density on nitrogen as well as solvation of cation formed after accepting \(H ^{+}\). After considering all these factors overall basic strength order is \(Me _2 NH > MeNH _2 > Me _3 N > NH _3\)
