Basicity of Aromatic Amines -

The unshared pair of electrons at the nitrogen atom is in resonance with the benzene ring and hence not fully available for donation as in the case of aniline.

-

 

 

Basic Strength of Amines -

The basic strength of the amine is expressed as equilibrium constant Kb 

K_{b}=\frac{[RNH_{3}^{+}][OH^{-}]}{[RNH_{2}]}

- wherein

 

 

Nature of group and basicity -

Electron withdrawing groups ( -I and -M  effect ) decreases basicity, whereas Electron releasing groups ( +I and +M  effect ) increases basicity.

-

 

 

General order of basicity -

Aliphatic Amines > Ammonia > Aromatic Amines

-

(a) and (c) lp of Nitrogen are in resonance so the favourable sites for protonation are (b),(c) and (d).

 


Option 1)

(b), (c) and (d) 

Option 2)
