The correct order of basicity of the following compounds is

  1. A \(1 < 2 < 3 < 4\)
  2. B \(1 < 2 < 4 < 3\)
  3. C \(2 < 1 < 3 < 4\)
  4. D \(4 < 3 < 2 < 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2 < 1 < 3 < 4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The correct order is \(2 < 1 < 3 < 4\). Since, more the number of \(2^{\circ}\) - NH- group, more is the basic nature. (1) Thus, 3 and 4 are more basic than 1 and 2 . (ii) Between 3 and 4,4 has one two - \(\mathrm{NH}_{2}\) group while 3 has only one \(-\mathrm{NH}_{2}\) group.…
