Which among the following has highest basic strength?
- A Ammonia
- B Ethylamine
- C Diethylamine
- D Triethylamine
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Diethylamine
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
As a consequence of combined effect of inductive effect, steric effect and solvation, the secondary amines are the strongest bases among aliphatic amines in aqueous phase so the basic strength varies as: \(2^{\circ}\) amine \(\gt3^{\circ}\) amine \(\gt1^{\circ}\) amine \(\gt\) ammonia. Hence, among the given options, diethylamine ( \(2^{\circ}\) ) has the highest basic strength.
