Benzylamine is a stronger base than aniline because
- A the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom in aniline is delocalised
- B the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom in aniline is not involved in resonance
- C benzylamine has a higher molecular mass than aniline
- D the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom in benzylamine is delocalised
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom in aniline is delocalised
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Benzyloamine \(\Rightarrow\)


Due to delocalisation of lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom in aniline, it is weaker basic than benzaldehyde.


Due to delocalisation of lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom in aniline, it is weaker basic than benzaldehyde.
