Chapter 16, Problem 16.27UKC
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The strongest and weakest base should be determined from the given amines.

Concept introduction:

Amines are the derivatives of ammonia (NH3) with one or more of the hydrogens replaced with a substituent such as an alkyl group.

Due to ability of lone pair in the nitrogen atom to accept a proton, amines are weak base in nature.

Factors that affect the basicity of amines are listed below,

Substitution by alkyl groups

The presence of alkyl groups (electron donating group) such as CH3andC2H5  will make the amine become more basic.

Substitution by electron-withdrawing groups

The presence of electron-withdrawing groups or atom will decrease the basicity.
