  2. B \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2\right)_2 \mathrm{NH}\)
  3. C \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2\right)_3 \mathrm{~N}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{NH}_2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2\right)_2 \mathrm{NH}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned}\left(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2\right)_2 \mathrm{NH} & \Rightarrow 2^{\circ} \text { amine } \\ & \Rightarrow \text { Most basic } \\ & \Rightarrow \text { Least } \mathrm{pK}_{\mathrm{b}}\end{aligned}\)
